Fracture of collarbone, please help me
Hi,I'm a 36 yr old male. Last week I broke my collarbone while riding my bike. The fracture is almost on the middle portion of the clavicle and a little bit displaced according to the doctor. The doctor told me it'll take 6-8 wks to heal by itself and put me on a sling.
The pain has been horrible during this first wk. I heard about arnica 200c followed by symphytum 30c and cal phos. 6c help to speed up the healing process. I bought the medicine already from your website.
I started to take arnica twice a day since past Friday, but I do not know exactly how may days I need to use it. The doctor prescribed vicodin for pain and I'm taking it in at the same time that arnica. This is right?
Also, I do not know when to switch to Symp or cal phos. I heard you need to take Symp once your broken bones are on the right place, but I do not know when that is going to happen. I need to come back to the doctor in one month for x-rays, so I do not know exactly when to start to take this medicine or the status of my healing.
I'm worried that if I start to take Symp too soon, it will affect my healing and the bones are not going to fuse on then right place.
Could somebody help me to figure out the correct doses and times I need to take these medicines. Thanks a lot.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Arnica is to be taken until the patient thinks that he is still suffering from the trauma. He may take arnica for one or two days if there is no trauma as sufficient time has elapsed. Arnica is still good if taken for not more than two days.
In your case as the doctor has told you that the fracture will heal on its own, it is the right time to take symphytum. Symphytum will hasten the process of healing (joining). Symphytum may be taken for a week thrice a day.
After that you can take calcarea phos in the same way.
If you have too much pain you may also take staphysagria 30c thrice a day for few days.
