mine was a broken elbow last month. im still recovering from it. ive had many broken bones including a broken nose, a few broken wrists,a broken fingers, broken collar bone, and a broken elbow. i must say the elbow is by far the worst. with wrists and fingers you can still pretty much use your arms and a broken nose is no big deal at all. the reason a broken elbow is worse then a collar bone for me is because the way i twisted my elbow around when it broke. it was just so nasty so a little crack in your shoulder certainly does not compare for me.
