You were able to move your arm with a broken collar bone?
Absolutely. It hurt incredibly bad when I shattered my collarbone (the second time) but I took a shower the next morning, put on slacks and a polo and went to work at 8 AM. That time I also broke my wrist in two spots and that was what hurt me the worst so I left work at 10 and went to the ER to find all that stuff out. The third time (second surgery) I was able to move the arm pretty well actually, I was trying to convince myself I hadn't just broke my collarbone that had just gotten a plate put on it 14 months prior so the arm moved pretty easily. When I woke up the next morning though I knew for certain it was broken again and sure enough the original plate stayed in tact but the bone broke in half at the end of the plate so they had to take the old plate out and put a new (larger) one in.
