What Causes Pain In Distal Right Clavicle?

Hi, I am having pain in my distal right clavicle. It has been there for about 2 days but is slowly getting worse. There is now a constant ache there and I experience sharp pain when taking deep breathes, sneezing, coughing, yawning, etc. It also hurts when I rotate my arm. It is not painful to touch. Thanks

your symptoms suggest that you might have sprain in acromio-clavicular joint ligaments. During breathing or coughing, raised intrathoracic pressure also causes some movement at this joint, that causes pain. mild analgesic such as ibuprofen,hot fomentation and local application of analgesic gel will give instantly relief. if symptoms does not subsides in 5-7 days then you may consult to your orthopaedician.
Hope this helps.
