Collarbone fracture
Is it okay if i do not wear a strap or a sling for my broken collarbone? It is broken in the middle section. And i would like to know the main purpose of the strap and the sling please. And if it is not okay to not wear them, then is it okay to remove them while sleeping or remove them when feeling annoyed by them till i refresh? As for the nature of the break; it is in the middle section of the left collarbone; the bone is broken into 2 parts and are completely seperated from each other. One is over the other. I have tried removing the strap several times and it gives me relief to remove it and i do not feel any pain when i do not have it on. Thank you in advance!

You need to keep sling, suggested by Doctor so that bone can join naturally. Keeping this on,while Sleeping is also important as unintentionally cam have some movements. You may get some relief after opening but again it's a pressure on joining parts. Collar bone is very important in Shoulder girdle movement. Keep sling on as suggested by Doctor
