Suggest Treatment For Persisting Pain Caused By A Clavicle Fracture

Hello, I broke my collarbone when I was in middle school, I can t remember the exact age. I have always lived an active life, with ski racing, horseback riding, soccer among other sports. I know it s normal that your collarbone can cause pain years after the fracture. In my case I can feel the pain when I m doing something active I.e running, skiing or playing soccer. I m 21 years old. Is this normal or do I need to seek medical attention? Thanks Charlie

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As the pain is activity induced I will feel due to muscle weakness these symptom of pain arises. For which with simple exercises things can be solved. Also, due to the past injury there will be weakness in the muscles which is not holding the SC joint and AC joint at proper place leading to additional amount of pressure to the muscles in that region. By simple exercise your problem can be solved.
