Suggest Treatment For Pain Near Collarbone, Cough And Painful Breathing
Waiting patiently for scan results prior to recurring parathyroid surgery. Having pain near collarbone close to neck. Certain arm movements and deep breath and coughing cause pain. Could this be connected to my parathyroid issue ?? Should it be addressed prior to surgery ??

Hello,
The pain near collarbone could be just local inflammation or costochondritis. I recommend taking Ibuprofen three times daily. If the situation does not improve, I recommend consulting again with your attending physician and performing a chest CT scan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
