Broken clavicle at SC joint

Hi, I fell on my chest 6 weeks ago, and Dr. diagnosed a sprain of my SC joint. He told me I could continue activity and even said cycling would be OK. So three weeks later, I noticed that the end of the medial clavicle where it meets the SC joint was sticking out a good bit. I was alarmed and went to an ortho surgeon who did a CT scan, which showed a 'relatively nondisplaced fracture of medial clavicle. ' Now it's 6 weeks, and if anything the bone is sticking out more. Pretty distressing since it is right below my throat.

I'm kicking myself for not just resting the bone instead of cycling etc. Still both doctors are saying the cycling didn't aggravate the injury because I never felt more pain as I rode. Absence of pain is a good sign I guess. Is that true?. If I didn't have the bulge sticking out I wouldn't know it is broken.

Has anybody dealt with a similar situation before?

Thank you. Mark
