Hello,
I had a boating accident wher I basically dove into a steel post collar bone first. After a couple days of light to moderate pain I went to the emergency and they took half a dozen exrays. The doctor looked at one of the exray's and in about 15 seconds said it was not broken. Now that was either a good thing or a bad one. I am worried she did not see it as being dislocated. I am not sure if she would have known that in 15 seconds.
Long story short. Now it has been about 3 weeks and the collar bone sticks out much farther at the sternum than my right one. Should I be worried. I have relatively not much pain, more in my neck as I suspect I hada bit of whip lash. I can now do push ups with no problem and I can lift heavy objects with almost no pain, just a little tightness. To be honest it only looks nasty, but does not hurt. Should I give it more time in case it is swollen, I am not relatively gentle with it anymore.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Sounds like your collar bone may have dislocated at the sternum. Your doctor may have seen it, but there is probably not much she could have done about it. I would say give it more time.
