Limited Shoulder Movement
Since the collarbone is the part that connects the arm and the body, your shoulder movement can be affected when it is broken or fractured. In mild cases, you can still move it around with limited ranges and boundaries. But when the break is serious, this task is almost impossible. Whatever the case, avoid moving your arm when you notice pain and swelling around this area. Otherwise, you can worsen the fracture and make it longer to recover. Once your broken collarbone has been treated, some specific exercises can be suggested by your doctor to strengthen the shoulder and restore movement. If necessary, you should work with a physical therapist to ensure you can return to all the physical activities without difficulty. [4]
