    Shoulder bone? Which particular bit?

    Bones take 8+ weeks to heal. Ligament damage can be longer.

    it's the acromion bone(i think)i'm sure the ligaments are damaged too.

    Ligaments never heal the same 🙁

    Fractured my scapula 2 years ago and only now am getting the strength back in it. Still gives me a great deal of pain on bad days.

    Damaged my AC joint some 6 years ago (the clavicle did not snap, but the joint impacted into itself), and still can not bear weight on my shoulders, such as people putting arms around me or having a child shoulder piggy back.

    I would suggest that you have some hard work ahead of you to get that back to being hunky dory. Get yourself some physio sorted out and do it.

    Be thinking more along the lines of 18months to get it back to full working painfree order rather than a matter of weeks.

    broke a collarbone in two bits,(the middle snapped off bit fell onto the hospital floor while waiting!!!)
    it healed quick after plated,
    worse was torn ligaments…that was agony and took nearly 3 months and i still get jib from it…i recommend paying for good sports physio…
    good luck healing,

    When I broke and dislocated mine I was lucky enough to be able spend a lot of time in a pool just letting my arms just float around and gradually starting to make swimming type motions.
    I have no pain now from it, but I'd say 4mths before it's safe to use properly.
