Hi,
Your symptoms such as shoulder pain which radiates to arm with numbness and painful collarbone might be due to cervical rib or Cervical radiculopathy or nerve compression etc. I advise you to:
- Do X-ray (Neck) to find out the underlying pathology
- Analgesics to eliminate pain and steroids to control inflammation around trapped nerve if any
- Hot fomentation
- Do physiotherapy and use cervical collar
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
