What Causes Mild Pain Around Clavicle While Raising Arm?

Hey, My name is Josie. I was exercising last night, lifting a 15lb weight above my head. I didn t notice any pain or cause for pain at the time, but about 20 minutes after resting I went to change and raising my arm produced a dull pain in my clavicle. The pain is also produced by pushing on the part at the base of the neck and moving my shoulder front and back. There s no swelling from what I can tell. Any ideas as to what it might be?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a muscles prain. You need to provide rest to the neck and shoulder. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid all overhead activities and do not use a pillow.
In case the pain is persistent even after taking a mild pain killer, then you might need stronger prescription medicines like muscle relaxants after consulting your orthopedician.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
