What Causes Pain In Collar Bone And Finger Tips While Sneezing?
I have what I believe to be a cold, and every time I sneeze, it shoots an excruciating pain to my collar bone that radiates down to my finger tips. it usually only lasts about ten seconds, but its the worse ten seconds I've felt since labor pains. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You have shooting pain in collar bone radiating down to finger tips lasting for about 10 secs. In my opinion this is due to cervical disc prolapse causing pressure in one of the nerves during sneezing due to increase in pressure in the spinal column. I suggest you start neck exercises to build your muscles in neck and take physiotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel
