Is Left-sided Swollen Collarbone And Pain In The Left Bottom Side Of The Head, Left-sided Shoulder And Neck A Serious Concern?
Question: I have pain in left bottom of head, left shoulder, left side of neck and swollen left collarbone. I was diagnosed with a partial tear in my left rotator cuff over a year ago
Brief Answer:
Epsom salt and bone scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
After hearing your history I would advise you to apply Epsom salt locally over the areas which are hurting. It contains magnesium sulfate which is a good analgesic.
Since you have a swollen left collarbone, I would advise you to do a bone scan for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
