What Causes Pain At Wound Site Long After Collar Bone Fracture?

Could be non union but is very rare
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Thanks for the query.
Have you sustained trauma again ?
Does it hurt to move your hand overhead or lift weights ?
Usually collar bone fracture heal quickly and almost have no union complications unless it is a very complex fracture.
If you are having pain, it could be that the fracture isn't United or healed yet. Also it could be arthritis of the end of the clavicle.
Apply hot packs. Take Tablet Paracetamol or Acetaminophen 500mg twice a day for 5 days.
Get an Xray of both clavicles for comparison. Kindly upload the Xray film and answer my queries as well for me to be in a better position to help you.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu
