What Is The Treatment For Severe Pain Below The Collar Bone?

I have persistent pain just below collar bone on right side. I am 39, female, 5 4 and 168 lbs. This has gone on off and on for 2 years. Nothing relieves it when it occurs. Does not seem to be related to eating (have had gall bladder removed). It really hurts - like a tearing, burning pain. Ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It could be due to strain on the collar bone, like sleeping only on one side will put stress on that shoulder and bone. So avoid straining, put ice on it, and take analgesics (oral or topical) for pain relief.

I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
