Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the collar bone that radiates to the hand is likely to be related to a nerve root compression or irritation at the level of cervical spine or under the collar bone. A muscle spasm can also cause such a pain. A direct examination and MRI scan is needed to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment involves oral muscle relaxants, mild pain killers, regular physiotherapy, methylcobalamin supplements and gabapentin. It is best to consult your orthopedician and get the necessary medicines prescribed after proper investigations.
I hope this answers your query.
