What Causes Pain And Tenderness In The Collar Bone?

Hello, Yesterday, after having slept badly and seemingly suffering a resultant sore collarbone (right side), I got to work, which involves heavy lifting. (In fact, I actually banged my LEFT shoulder on something at work, which jerked my whole body.) Anyway, I soon realized the lifting was aggravating my neck area muscles; sure enough, the area became incredibly tender. This was especially so at the center area, (the indentation, or trachea?) which was very sore to the touch, and actually swollen so that it was flat instead of indented. I got some (lousy) sleep, but today it s the same. Any thoughts?

Hello,

Soreness and pain in the right collarbone could be due to trauma caused to the right shoulder while lifting a heavy load. I suggest you take rest, painkillers and muscle relaxants for the pain.

You may also take hot fomentation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
