>At Christmas I tore ligaments in my right collarbone. I didn't know this at the time, and used my right arm significantly more than normal, as I had also broken my left collarbone, and my left arm was in a sling.
What did you do, try to force yourself through a chimney? Jesus christ

Also about your sternoclavicular joint instability (I assume this is the case), the bad news is that it's the only bone to bone joint holding your upper limb to your body. The good news is that the upper part of the pectoralis major is attached to your sternum and collarbone, so that is one key muscle you should focus on. Perhaps more important is scapular control, you absolutely need to master your scapular movement and scapular muscles. You see how your injured collarbone joint reacts when you hold your fingers on it and slowly move your scapula, not the arm, only the scapula. You will find the movement patterns that keeps the joint tight with experimenting and learning scapular control.

i have this too, but in my case it's from a genetic defect and not from an injury.
I can't do pullups/chinups/OHP/facepulls/latpulldowns because of this. FML

>What did you do
I fell off a longboard at 25km/h+ straight onto my shoulder.
There was enough force to break one collarbone, and sublux the other.
The weird this was that I didn't notice any damage until I felt a bone trying to protrude through my skin.
Almost no pain, just an unpleasant feeling.

Your advice is amazing, thank you! I'll have to research exercises for upper pectorals that doesn't involve too much shoulder movement. I'll also practice manipulating my scapular.

You're welcome, also what I've personally found really helpful when learning scapular movement is two mirrors. One in front of you and the other one behind you, so that you can see yourself from the behind. By looking at your scapula movement through the mirrors you see the tens of muscles moving it, the rhomboids, trapezius, levator scapulae, infraspinatus, serratus anterior, etc, and you start appreciate how dynamic the scapula can be. Combine this with feeling your collarbone joint with your fingers in the, and you have set yourself up a rehab studio. Also kinesio tape can be helpful in keeping the joint in place, but getting it properly taped usually requires someone with taping experience. Good luck senpai and take it easy with the longboard!
