I have been riding my new moutain biking for 2 weeks now. Like 80 km a day weekdays after not riding for 8 years and being out of shape. Someone burglularised my home and stole 8 years of my life work 3 weeks ago I decided I was going to bury myself in my mountainbiking, get my healthback and now today the worst thing happened.
First woke up and am scared my youngest child might have the pigflu as he is showing flu symptoms…
Then I left and rode 35 kilometers on one of my fastest commutes and had an accident. I was in a small back alley street and I saw this guy on the side of the road trying to walk out in front of me it looked like on the shoulder of the road..
Then blam I hit a speed bump the same color as the street.. totally missed it and indo’d over my front handle pars feet locked in place and slammed head and shoulder into the pavement.
The Chinese walked around me as if nothing happened. I walked for about a kilometer then felt the most horrific pain I have ever felt.
Went to the hospital.. and then the doctors tok an exray and said somethinglike two tendons n my collar bone were ripped and I would need a surgery. First they said 10-15000 rmb, then their boss came in and saw I was a foriegner and was like “oh no… thats like 25000 rmb”
This is some serious cash. I can tell you that this hurts soo bad. They gave me morphine and some other pills Celecoxib.
That didnt really do anthing that I can tell. I cant stand up and have to hold my arm up and out words of my body in order to not feel any pain… I mean not bad pain. Even when I walk. MY woman has to hel me piss as I cant doi it myself. They put some kind of harness on me and a free hanging splint. I am under the impression they dont know how to make splints because I cant do anything unless Ihold my arm up with my other arm.
I need You help.
Can you help me with the following questions?
1)I can attach a picture of the x-ray and can someone tell me the name of what I have in English?
2) Whats a good a good painkiller,
3) how to make the proper splint?
4)and is an operation necessary?
And what is it that I have in English?
The google translation says:
“The right shoulder is sorrowful place right shoulder lock joint space widened, distal clavicle upward shift”
I hurt so bad. i need to take care of my two children and 25000 is so much/
5) Will I ever be able to ride again?
6) It hurts so bad.. when will it stop hurting?
Thanks for your help
Robert …

THanks for your advice so far. Another Chinese doctor said it needs to be operated.. but they are so financially motivated. The last thing in the world i want to do if I dont have to is put metal pieces in my body. Question… I understand the ligaments are torn on the collar bone.. can you tell me if my shoulder is out of its socket/dislocated? if so does someone have to put it back into the socket? or can I just leave it alone and everything will heal on its own?
