Is It Possible I Could Have Chipped A Bone After A Fall ?

My wheel came off my rollerskates 5 days ago and i fell with some force.My shoulder and collar bone has been very painful ever since.My GP told me that iv pulled a muscle without examining my collar bone, is it possible i could have chipped a bone? my husband tends to think Id definitely know if i had.I dont know whether i should ask for an xray - thanks

if your bone has been fractured, u ll be getting severe pain around your clavicle with some amount of swelling. if you r facing severe joint pain with restriction of movement then its better to consult an ortho doc. if you a having just mild to moderate pain then its just muscle pull

hi,
welcome to the health care magic ,a clear examination of the affected part is itself sufficient to have the diagnosis clear but you feel the mobility is restricted along with consistent swelling then you can straight away go for an x-ray.

thanks and regards !
