Suggest Remedy For Swelling In The Left Supraclavicular Area
I noticed that my left supraclavicular area is swollen. I have also noticed that my left shoulder has been bothering me for several months. I thought it may be arthritis or a pulled muscle, but it feels different then a pulled muscle. I am an active 42 year old female. I m not sure what arthritis feels like. I am starting to think the two are related. I did have a root canal done about 5 weeks ago and had to go on antibiotics afterwards. Should I get this checked out?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you are finding swelling in the left supraclavicular region and also discomfort in the left shoulder you should undergo a thorough clinical Musculoskeletal assessment. post which if needed you be advised for the x-ray to see bony position to understand better.
Usually, due to shoulder pathology the supraclavicular region might get disturb as the clavicle is directly involved in the shoulder.
Also, it doesn't look much big thing and can be corrected with simple treatment.
Also, with simple physical therapy and graded exercises you should be fine.
