What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Collar And Shoulder Bone?
I am a 45 yr old female in good health but I do smoke. I woke up on a Saturday about 3 months ago and had pretty substantial pain in my left shoulder and collar bone. I had not sustained any injuries or strains that would have caused the pain. I just woke up and I hurt. I have the pain everyday now. Some times it s a lot worse than others. It is always much worse at night. It is more in my shoulder but it does move into my collar bone. Now it is moving up my neck, down my arm and into my ear. The back side of my collet bone next to my shoulder is swollen. I don t have any tingling or numbing.

Hi, your symptoms are more like a muscle sprain especially of the trapezius muscle, as your shoulder and clavicle has started paining suddenly. you need analgesics, and good physio, but before that an MRI of the shoulder joint can be helpfull.
