I wish I hadn't had the nerve block. Hated the feeling of a dead arm all day. I had my surgery at 6 in the morning and it truly did stay numb all day. Pain in the shoulder wasn't bad at all once it wore off. It's been almost 3 years since I had mine and I might have minimized the experience a bit but honestly the broken clavicle wasn't that bad, the broken ribs on the other hand sucked. I went for a follow up I think about 2 weeks later, surgeon put some sort of super bandaid on the incision at surgery and peeled it off then. Gave me a Rx for physiotherapy but told me since I was healing so well I didn't need to go, so I didn't. Only lasting effect is the middle screw sticks out a bit and is a bit uncomfortable wearing a seat belt and I am now the slowest descender on the mountain bike!
