What Causes Pain In Neck Down The Clavicles?

I have been having an electric shock-like pain in my neck down the lateral aspect towards my clavicles for a few days. I ve expereinced it before, a few times a year previously. I don t know if it is related to my work- I m a bedside nurse (30 years old) and do a lot of lifting, moving of heavy patients.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be due to conditions like cervical spondylitis.

As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
