Hi, I'm 25 year old woman and recently felt soreness in my upper right collar bone/ shoulder area I also feel what I believe is a swollen vein starting on the collar bone going down about 2 inches. It's been that way for about 4 plus days. It's beginning to become sore near my neck also, A few days shy of 2 weeks ago I was carrying very heavy luggage on the right side could that be the cause Ive been carrying this heavy luggage back and forth about 5 times in the last 2 months. Thanks in advance
