Broken Collar Bone

I broke my collar bone badly about 6 weeks ago. In the latest xray there does not appear to be much bone forming, but I have been told that I should leave off the sling I have been wearing but it feels very uncomfortable and I can still feel the bone moving. Will I have to have it pinned?, Is there anything else I can do to aid recovery - I would really like to avoid having it pinned.

The medical grade mineral oil released from the gel onto the skin also helps to soften dry skin and to reduce scar tissue by improving the mobility and elasticity of the skin after scarring.
