[QUOTE="MN KDXer, post: 33898, member: 16126"] Darrell- Thanks for the advice on other people. I'll have to wear my sling a little extra time to forewarn that I'm a hurting unit. Geez, I sure hope I don't take that long to heal up. They didn't exactly say, but it sounded like I can trail ride in 6 weeks or so. Maybe, that's over optimism, though. I know this- before surgery, I couldn't even ride the BMX bike very hard w/o pain, so something had to be done. If it takes that long, maybe I'll have to change my nick to MN Fisherman.

I would imagine that yours involved additional tissue damage besides the liagaments getting stretched/torn. I don't know if the procedure used on me is new, but here's what he did- - Grind off some of the outer end of the collarbone (end that stuck upwards) and drill some attachment holes.
