Anybody else broken their collarbone before?

yeah! im sure they will see the enthusiasm shine through :biggrin:

hahaaa!

how comes you were unsuccessful first time round :frown:

?

Ah, can you imagineme saying ina very dangerously soft voice "Wellcome to my operating theatre" :biggrin:

I had **** GCSE's - BCC for English, Maths and Citizenship respectively(serious exceptional circumstances) I was going to re-apply, but ABB at A-Levels demolished last chances taht I had :frown:

But I look forward to gradmed and I expect to improve on work experience and stuff, plus I will be on the same footing as everyone else at postgrad level, whereas as an undergrad I would have probably still got 4 rejections, due to my GCSE's, circumstances or no circumstances :rolleyes:

My friend broke hers when she fell off her bike, but they just left it because there was nothing they could do about it, and it wasn't causing her any pain, but now she has a lump. I think it healed fine though :s-smilie:

Well, I hope I get the job tomorrrow, and don't run away, screaming, from it :p:

And I hope I will do gradmed, I keep planning what school and what terst, and then realise I still have 3 years of hardcore studying to go through :p:

And lets hope you will get in, all the best ! I am sure you will be a medic sooner than me :wink:

Chemistry is lovely subject in its own right, I never viewewd it as a way to get to gradmed, thats why I picked this subject and not biomed or nursing. I ended up saying that to my Chem admissions tutor :p:

Plus, apparently there is a lack of chemists nationwide, so high career prospects :p:

But hopefully you will do Med :yep:

I broke my collarbone in the exact same place (and on my left side, too!) because I was horse riding and I fell off the side, hitting my elbow on a fence which pushed my arm up too hard, breaking the clavicle. I too have a massive lump where it's healed, it kind of sticks out like a triangle, and I can't sleep on that side because it puts too much stress on it and it hurts in the morning. I broke my bone last march, so I do worry a bit, but I think its more to do with the way mine has healed because its at a different angle now. If it is really bothering you, then maybe you should check in with the doctor and have a see what they can do :smile:

Aww, we will be crosssing our fingers for you :yep:

Oh, btw, my mother aid sometimes, when you break a bone and it then mends, it forms extra bone tissue around the place, a bit like callus on skin, so this could account for the bump? Still check with real doc though, my mother is an infectionist and didnt deal much with trauma (she remembers it from her course :p:

)

I broke mine about 4 years ago falling on a horse and it's never fully healed. It sticks out about an inch and is permanently curved.

I did Duke of Edinburgh Gold with a pack on it and it caused me so much trouble I had an xray on it and the doctor then just said that it never healed properly but because it wasn't still fractured anywhere they couldn't operate on it.

I couldn't say I've broken my neck or collarbone, but I near-enough tore my platysma muscle in the neck in too taking a bad fall in professional wrestling training two years ago. Needed physiotherapy and it hasn't been the same since
