Is Surgery Effective For Inflammation Of Collar Bone?

My MRI shows significant inflammation of the collar bone on my left shoulder. I have full range of motion with limited pain but I worry about doing weight training. Rest is not making this better. Is surgery to cut out the inflammation the best solution?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No surgery is not the first choice of treatment for collar bone.

You should first try the medications, if the medication won't work than you can think for the surgery.

In medication you can try aceclofenac with Chlorzoxazone for pain and muscle relaxation. Antibiotics Doxycycline 100 mg two times a day and pantoprazole can work for your pain.

Avoid severe exercises on that joint but you can continue the mild physiotherapy exercise. Heat therapy, electro therapy etc. Can also help you can also try it.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
