i recently had a second surgery on my right collar bone due to the plate was sticking out. i am skinny so it didnt surprise me when it stuck out a little. during the second surgery i had it removed, and the doc said when he closed it up it looks aligned and great. the bone looked solid and everything. after surgery for two weeks i go back for a check up and the padding is removed, and we see the bone but something trying to come out of my skin. it has a claw like figure and is pointy at the end, so we took another x-ray but the bone was still lined up. there was no indication of a spiked bone or anything, but when we look at it, something is trying to come through. if was extra bone it would have showed up but the x-rays looked like nothing was wrong. we looked at my old x-rays when it was broke and you could tell that the bone was split in half and trying to come through the skin. after this surgery however, same thing, but the x-rays are clean, straight, lined up. shows no sign of a raised bone like the old x- ray but still we see something trying to come through. i run my finger along the sternum then along my collar bone and if feels as if the hard rock lump is connected. the docs even tried grabbing it pushing it, it wont budge or hurt. its just there trying to come through or looks as if it is attempting i should say. but no pain or anything, and when i put two fingers around it one finger on top clavicle, one under it, it feels as if my collar bone doubled in size with hardness. but its only in that one area. please help, this thing freaks me out and im paranoid that when i wake up, im going to see something sticking out of me. thanks.
