There doen't appear to be any numbness,. whwn I lift my left arm it is painful, can hardly pull off my top without gettin the painfull neck & arm.Started abot one week ago with a minor soreness on the collorbon, now developed into this more severe pain. I have rubbed it with Blue stuff oinment which always helps if it's muscle, not so here. Very concerned.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From description pain over collar bone seems to be inflammatory in nature. Give rest to the part and avoid weight lifting.You can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and swelling. Get examined by your doctor to rule out any infective pathology.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
