Crash – Recovery Month Three
Today is the start of month three of my recovery.
As you will have read in previous posts, I was knocked off my bike on August the 1st 2104.
One plate and six screws
While I had several other, relatively minor injuries, the major one was to my left collarbone. which was broken fairly badly.
I underwent surgery on August the 14th to stabilise it. They inserted a titanium plate and six screws into the bone. For the last few weeks I have been recovering slowly from the procedure.
Unfortunately I am not recovering very quickly, I am struggling with quite badly reduced mobility in my shoulder and severe stabbing pains and muscular spasms when I move the wrong way – or indeed too far. I also have significant pins and needles that stretch from my shoulder to my little finger on my left hand.
I have an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist next week to discuss further options which looks to include additional surgery.
