Suggest Me Treatment For Thickened Collar Bone As I Am Diabetic?
An xray shows that my right collarbone has thickened ( probably due to throwing a baseball for years) I am 68 years old. My docter gave me a cortizone shot, but it has not helped the pain mucj- iis surgery the only other answer? I am diabetic - can't tale NSAIDS. What is the normal recovery experience from surgery?

If its not troubling you , then you can wait and watch . Rather than going for surgery , becuase being a diabetic recovery will be prolonged.
