What Causes Sharp Pain In Collar Bone?

I have had a sharp pain under my right collar bone for about 3 days now. It mostly hurts when I take breaths in but is a steady constant sharp pain. Any idea what this could be and how to remedy it? I ve been taking ibuprofen and it s not really working.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having pleurisy as you have sharp pain during breathing. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as diclofenac.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
