Non weight bearing bones are pigs to heal up! Pm MacktheKnife, he did this whole thing not so long ago, dont really want to tell you but it took a long time to come right.
Take supplements, like Vitamin C, silica, calcium and shark cartelidge and any other friggen thing that helps to build bone and heal it.
Good luck with it. How frustrating!
Hey Dave if you haven't healed in time to give your bucket a good thrashing at the next round just pm me and I'll do what I can for you.
Never too old to Rock n Roll.

I've got miserly tourettes and I don't give a fuck.
Dunno 'bout having ya wing plated - apparently the lucky ones don't need it.
2-3 weeks for the bone to knit, 4-6weeks before picking up a cup of coffee.
The longer you let the bone heal, as in not moving/using your arm the better it is for the bone to heal.
8-10 weeks is a good timeline to stick in ya brain with a further 4-6weeks physio and strength training to follow.
Rest up! your bike will wait, mine still is . . .
It is what it is
Yeah after 4 months 1 week I'm pretty sure about it isn't knitting, I've had ribs heal in a month or so.
So not sure how long it will take after plate. I'll see if Diesel can chime in.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Healing takes time. Too much time by the sound of it.
Look after your lady and good luck with the baby.
My arm took nine months to knit. They were talking bone graft. It had a rod in it all that time too (now hanging on my study wall).
Sorry Dave...
Thanks Choppa, did you get it taken out after?
Don't you look at my accountant.

Ohmygosh, the pure torture. I dont know if I could stand a week without my bike, much less months.
I would have some severe withdrawal symptoms.
Ride fast or be last.
I had six months of X-Rays and "lets give it another month to knit up" Bullshit before I begged them to bolt it up. After I got over the op (about 24 hours)
I felt way better even thou I was forbidden to rise my arm above my shoulder for a week or heavy lifting for a month. I just wish I got them to do it sooner
Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
. . . That shit's Nasty.
Cool, I didn't lift my arm that far for 3 & 1/2 months so one month should be easy. Hope they get me in soon, I want my life back. Nah gotta be honest it isn't that bad now I have movement - it is so much better I am thankful. But I want to ride & race again & not have the pain when I move wrong.

Ask for the thick plate. My brother fell over and snapped his so had to go through it all again. Recovery time not to bad once the plates in. My bro was back on his dirt bike within 5 weeks. Check my profile for my break. They left it. Still gives me grief.
