What Causes Protruded Collar Bone Along With Difficulty In Breathing?

40 some years ago I was in a bad car accident and broke my right shoulder and the dr. had to take some soft tissue out of the top of my shoulder from my arm to my neck. At the time one side of my collar bone was protruding more than the other side. Now the protrusion seems to be in the middle of my neck and causing trouble breathing. What is wrong?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with difficulty in breathing due to protrusion from your collar bone following a previous car accident I am suggesting that you are gradually developing a laryngeal compression syndrome due to pressure effect from the conspicuous bone protrusion

In view of this please do the following test
CT SCAN
Neck and chest x-ray

Meanwhile please see a orthopaedic specialist with the result and for further expect clinical assessment and possible surgical interventional procedure

I hope this helps Regards
