My collar bone is giving me agony and it hurts to lift my right arm up. Is it just a case of taking painkillers until it goes?

I am still in pain Sad but can't face the local A & E. Anyone else had collar bone pain?

What did you do?

phipps · 14/11/2010 17:38

I don't know. I was knelt on the floor taking everything out of the fridge before putting freshly stuff in at the back and it went. Had to get DH to pick me up. It hurts to raise my arm, it hurts to lean on my elbow and I have to go into school tomorrow. Bummer. I don't expect anything could or would be done tbh.

Heat and ice packs may help. Alternate the two for something Ike 5 minutes each, although I can't remember the timings my osteopath recommended

I will try my heat pad, thanks.

Okay, on my 3rd heated up pad and now I am very aware of my breathing. Just asthma, yes? I couldn't have broken my collar bone, surely.

how are you this morning?

phipps · 15/11/2010 20:16

Last night was very strange. I had the weirdest sore throat, like it was burnt. I was dribbling and it hurt to swallow. My asthma inhaler helped my breathing and my shoulder was still painful. This morning I am pretty much all okay.

Thanks for asking. All very strange.

Very weird!

phipps · 16/11/2010 07:45

I know. I still think I did something to my collar bone as my top half is not great since my accident but I wonder if my sore throat was like when you get run down and get a cold but in my case it is my head and emotions that are stressed and it manifested itself as a strange sore throat.

if you get any more funny symptoms you should get checked out

I once pulled the muscles under my breast tissue and couldnt move my arm at all, thought I had dislocated my shoulder. Was odd feeling, I feel for you Phipps

Thanks OWO. (How's the labour coming along?)

What do you think I need checking for?
