Hello,

I had gone through the case and found that it might be hair line fracture or dislocation of clavicle .

So do not wait, immediate go for X-ray of right Clavicle bone and ribs and get the proper diagnosis. Might be due that there is pressing of nerve which causes numbness.

meanwhile do not move the hand and take painkiller for subsiding the pain and swelling.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks
