Ear worms? Ye don't know what an ear worm is. I get the theme tube to Glenroe periodically stuck in my head. Now that is NOT a song to pursuit to!

I get the theme tune to Pajanimals. Then that goes and is replaced with one of the other songs from the show!

I was out this morning with the B group lads, and while my heart rate barely went above 140 it meant I had a greatest hits of earworms going on. Most notably Kevin Bloody Wilson - "Hey Santa Claus you c*nt" followed by "The Galaxy Song" from The Meaning of Life.

Strava says I had a below average Suffer Score. I promise you, I suffered plenty.

I usually start singing or humming "Boys are back in town"....other people sing to themselves while cycling, right?!

Anytime I'm on a flat section with a great tailwind I get images of Kelly doing Paris/Roubaix with......

To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind"

So I was in hospital again today getting braced and strapped for the collarbone/dislocated shoulder combo and I thought you guys would enjoy a pic of the x-ray!

Has anyone else done a collarbone in? What was your experience like? Did you get pinned or not? Who did you see? Why? I am currently in the figure of 8 brace and a shoulder immobilizer, and the good drugs I suppose I am wondering how long it took you guys to be back on the bike?
They had to peel my elbow out of the previous sling as the road (track?) rash had kind of grown into it…eugh!

Get a second opinion, and then get the surgery.

Avoid the surgery unless an Orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in shoulders recommends it !
Most collarbones heal perfectly without surgery.

I got morphine for a week when I strained my collar bone, I didn't really like the come down after each tablet. Made me exhausted.

It's what's keeping me sane at the moment. It's so unstable, every move I make goes through me and it, so I am totally ok with the tiredness at the present time!

I broke mine 3 weeks ago, I didn't make the cut for surgery or a figure of 8 brace, just the immobiliser sling, the pain eased a lot after about 10 days, (along with the muscle spasms in the arms while in the sling... man alive they were sore). Now, my shoulders is stiff and a bit achy at times, and the movement is coming back bit by bit. Hope to be back on the bike by the end of september after i get the go ahead from the doctor.

Oh, try not to sneeze.... i did twice, wow.... felt like my shoulder had exploded....

edit to say: I thoroughly recommend the bonanza double bill on tg4 at 10am, as alternative viewing to the jeremy kyle/ cash in the attic shows elsewhere.

Peppa pig is an awful b i t c h and a terrible example of how to behave to children. A snotty, cheeky, grumpy little miss with a mega attitude and a chip on her shoulder.

It's such a relief to see that I'm not the only one. I'd ever a child needed a slap it's that one.

I get the Bing Bong Song from Peppa Pig..

Once I got "see-saw, see-saw" sung by George and Richar Rabbit... every two revolutions of the crank... almost killed me.

The other time it was "I woke up this morning" blues by Granpa Rabbit.

In every episode she is gently shown why this is wrong, though. I guess thats the point, isn't it?

I had something very similar at Easter. Compound fracture in the collar bone but also a broken scapula, a floating shoulder. The Orthopedic surgeon (who was a shoulder specialist. I searched him on Linkedin!) advised me to have the surgery as the bone was tenting the skin and would be prone to infections. So I now have 6 pins and a plate. For me the pain from the surgery was much worse than the actual accident. I only need ibuprofen after the crash. Post-op I had some morphine based tablets in the hospital and was sent home with tramadol.

The surgeon has to cut through a nerve so that lead to a lot of pain. It was like someone was grabbing and squeezing my skin just below the neck for a few weeks. The bone is well healed now but the nerve is still not 100%. Carrying a bag on that shoulder is still a bit of a problem but getting better with each passing week.

Had the break been less messy I would not have gone for surgery.

Whenever I have an unwelcome earworm, there's one song that's guaranteed to dislodge any other song from my head. But it's a borderline nuclear option and should be used with extreme caution. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart

Are you still hearing Peppa?

Yes only now it's "Unbreak my Bing Bong Bingly Bungly Boo"

I'm sure that song is in violation of the Geneva convention.

Not making light, but for a strain ? Presumably not a strain like your regular wrist type strain?

I broke mine in two places a few years ago, slept on it (I'm sure alcohol numbed most of the pain) and went to the VHI Swiftcare clinic the next day, didn't take any pain killers, don't think I was offered them either from what I can remember.

I just went with the immobiliser sling. Bit of a struggle as it was my right side, simple things like taking a dump take on a whole new level of planning and difficulty.

My wife reckons I have an unnatural tolerance for pain though, didn't take the drugs offered when getting eye surgery, and sat at home for hours with several broken bones in my hand and a smashed thumb after a hurling match another time.

Ha ha thanks for the tv suggestions! Never been much of a tv person, that's all about to change!

Rollingscone I didn't cry, does that count as Rule 5 enough?

Thanks for the info on yer experiences with the collarbone break, I suppose I am wondering how it's going to go, and how long I'll be out of action for average. It hurts like a divil but hopefully it'll settle soon enough. I also hope it's the end of my physical bad luck. This is the 3rd run of it now so that's it right?!! :pac:

Paul McCartney's Let 'em In will dislodge any other ear worm. But the cure may be worse than the disease.

daragh_

Sorry for your troubles gadetra.

Best bit of advice I got after was to get out of the sling as soon as I could.

Didn't have to get pins though so ymmv.

They gave me a prescription for Tramadol which I never used. I'll take cash or bike parts.

Defo agree, longer you're in it the longer it'll take for the muscles being relaxed to build back up and gain full rom.

The fact that I don't know the McCartney tune means there's only one winner for me.

Impromptu science experiment this morning: I encountered 15 sets of red lights; cars broke the red at 9 of them. Clearly we need them to pay more road tax, more insurance and have a ticker-style reg plate surrounding the entire vehicle to ensure that this menace is stopped. Shocking it was, Joe.

To my surprise, I had to hit 10 sets of reds before I saw a cyclist break one.
