The title may be a bit confusing, let me explain:

I broke my right collarbone when I was 6 years old. To make a long story short, it didn't heal in the proper location. My shoulder is significantly dropped (even now over 20 years later) due to this. It's so bad that people stop me on the street to ask me what happened to my shoulder or if I should be wearing a brace for the Wikipedia reference-linkscoliosis(sp?). I don't have scoliosis, I've been checked for that.

I can hold my shoulder in the position it is supposed to be in; however, it quickly becomes uncomfortable, and I usually end up stopping after a minute or two. When I sit in a chair, I can hold it up for about 10 minutes with moderate discomfort.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do (such as exercise, etc - I'll do most anything short of having surgery) to make it hold up on its own eventually.

Thanks in advance. All help and suggestions are appreciated.
