Well not broken I confess, but it sure hurts like it.
I separated my shoulder (low grade) in a soccer game 10 days ago. As goalie, I met with a six-foot-four striker, in full stride, whilst saving a weak goal attempt. Since I was firmly planted, with a 5 inch head start on the race to a lower center of gravity, I pancaked him. He got up relatively quickly, I mostly got his soft bits (maybe a diaphragm or two), while I escaped standing up with a slightly lower shoulder.
The good news: it is only pain. There isn’t likely to be any long term damage and in fact, I can even continue to use it without further medical attention or risk…of anything…other than the excruciating, stabbing, excoriation of the nerves on the distal end of my clavicle.
So, I ah, I got that goin’ for me

“Things I have broken” should be kept to household items or toys etc…not the human body. Take care of yourself, you have many years left on that warranty. Sorry you are in pain, they have good stuff for that now!!

Oooh, man, glad it isn’t permanent damage. Remember, when you take a hard fall, be sure to land on that springy area between your ear, and shoulder. ‘Cause it’s so springy.
OK, I have to acknowledge that this is the interweb and anyone might read this, so I have to overtly disclaim that as a joke. And one that doesn’t go over particularly well without the visual demonstration.

I can vouch for avoiding dislocated shoulders. You’d better take care of yourself or Abby may not let you keep you.
How many years has it been since we saw that sky-diving crash demonstration? The memory is so vivid for me that I knew immediately what James was talking about. You should probably be careful when using that springy area, ’cause it might send a big striker half way across the soccer field.

Ooooo the shoulder. So sorry to hear. I was told my shoulder would hurt for awhile with no reprecussions. I ran into a door frame when I was 13 and swear I left my shoulder in the room. 30+ years later cortisone shots are the recommended therapy! Enjoy the next 30 years! OW!
