3 weeks will be when you need the painkillers.
At least 6 weeks for riding I would have thought.
Good luck![;)]

My collarbone still twinges a bit if I jarr it. Otherwise healed up spiffydociously though!
I had an operation though so mine was bound to heal a bit better/quicker than average.

If they operate, then you'll be fine. Mine wasn't fixed and is still broken a year later. The initial pain lasted for a good while- but I tried to ride a bike at 3 weeks after, only to find that it was broken (Xrays didnt show the break) pic in my sig of the break. Dosent hurt too much now, cold damp weather and sometimes I lain funny on it, then it gives me some jip.

Yeah Fluff, I clean broke it at one end and fractured it at the other end but a week after the initial accident the ends of the bone had displaced by about an inch, this meant that they would never meet and knit together so they had to put a metal plate & screws on top of the bone to hold it in place so it would heal properly. They've decided to just leave the plate in there too.
