Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Treatment For Pain And Discomfort Along The Clavicle Area?
For the past two and a half days I have experienced on-going pain and discomfort along the clavicle area. I do have scoliosis, and have some muscle pain along the right shoulder. When I press down on the clavicle I can feel muscle tightness and it does provide some relief to press on it. Hurts the most when I take a deep breath. Lying down, especially on either side, makes it hurt worse.
Hello, First you need an xray and exam to make sure there are no abnormalities of the clavicle or underlying lung. If they are normal then a physical therapist or a medical massage therapist may be able to help with the pain. See your doctor first. Regards
