What Causes Breathing Difficulty After A Collarbone Fracture?
I fell... hard... and fractured my collarbone in two places. Now I m having trouble breathing (1 week later) and have a weird sensation when swallowing. My chest bone or rib is sticking out. Should I go back in, or is this just from bruising / swelling?
