For the past year, I have had intense collar bone and shoulder pain. It started out as I sprained my collar bone (no idea how, I just woke up one morning in intense pain) and i couldn't work for 2 weeks and was in a sling.
That gets better but I can feel that it is still a little sensitive and weak, but I develop a sub scapular strain (I think from hunching over school work) which is just a knot right by my shoulder blade. I got muscle relaxers and that went away with time.
Now, I have intense pain all over my right shoulder it seems like. It feels like the my pectoral muscle by my collar bone is super tight. I have to get it rubbed every night or I end up having panic attacks.
Touching the actual bone is extremely painful to do. the top of my shoulder seems tight but I only realize that when I end up rubbing it. The knot by my shoulder blade is back and it literally prohibits me from sneezing. I cant lay on my back, either of my sides; I can only lay on my stomach to sleep and I can only sleep for a couple of hours at a time..
The Dr thinks the tissue around my collar bone is swollen so I am taking medicine for that but I can't help but be a worry wart and think it is something worse.. anyone have similar issues? or maybe have anything they do for comfort? (I can't afford massages 2x a week anymore, especially if I dont know if its helping...)
I made you some paragraphs to make your post easier to read. Some of us have tracking problems when reading.
