What Causes Pain In Collar Bone With A Swollen Thyroid Gland?
I ve had problems with a swollen thyroid gland and a swollen area above right collar bone. The pain shoots to my shoulder. My tonsils also where hurting. I m thinking it s a broken tooth but I havnt had alot of pain coming from there. This has been going on for a month now. Tonsils and thyroid gland are going back to normal but still have pain above collar bone.

Hello
Pain and swelling in collar bone area may be due to thyroid pathology or enlarged lymph node.It need clinical examination and investigations.
Area around collar bone is common site of lymph node enlargement.Since you have enlarged tonsil,it may be an enlarged lymph node.
You may need ultrasound of neck region.Ultrasound is very helpful in assessing its origin and management.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
