Broke mine April 12th, it was a “Z” fracture so surgery was the only way to go. Had surgery on the 16th and the only pain I had was slight discomfort, like I couldn’t move it to get it to go away and that was only the day after surgery. The next day I was pain free and actually stopped using the sling after day 3. I didn’t lift anything over a pound for the first week then I started my own ROM work and started increasing basic use of the arm. I broke the other one a few years ago, no surgery needed as it was lined up perfectly and it healed straight and you can’t even tell it was broken but it took a good 4/5 weeks before I could move it as much as I could after one week on the recent one. I was on the trainer 6 days after surgery and honestly could have been back outside riding 3 weeks later but was in no hurry.
