What Could Be Done For The Pain And Soreness In Bone After Playing Tennis?

Hello, I've been playing Tennis for the last few weeks at least three times a week. I've started experiencing pain in the bone that attaches the collar bone to the shoulder. It is even sore to the touch. What could I do to lesson this or prevent in the future given it's not a more serious sports injury?

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury.
X ray of the chest & shoulder joint can be done to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by application of ice, analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
