3 weeks ago I had a bad wipeout on a iced-out run late in the day and
fractured my shoulder. I've had it MRI'ed, x-rayed, CT'd and was told
it will be a 6-8 week heal of the fracture, with a 2-3 month full
recovery (strength above the shoulder). Any other boarders have this
type of injury before, and were you able to do some 'light' boarding
with just the bones healed?


When you say "shoulder", do you mean clavicle or scapula?


Scapula (glenoid)


Ah, in that case I can't offer any advice, I'm afraid - I've never
broken that bone :-/
