A collar bone thats broken!
Having broken my collarbone, it is basically a shoulder bone. It is a common injury among bicyclists, motorcyclists, and equestrians (I broke mine falling off my horse).

It takes 6 months to a year to fully heal, can't be casted, and is painful. The break can require surgery if it is serious enough. Luckily, my break did not require surgery.
The bone across the front of your shoulder and very painful.
