Swollen collar bone after falling?!


Question: Swollen collar bone after falling!?
Hi, I was at soccer practice today and towards the end I got tackled and fell on my shoulder and heard a pop in my collar bone!. It hurt pretty bad but I got back up and could rotate my arm with not too much pain!. When I got home I realized that it is pretty swollen at the part that's closest to my body and it hurts (but not a lot, a mild hurt) when I push on it!. I can still rotate my arms around with little pain but if I try picking something up thats heavier than like 5 pounds I get a quick flash of pain in the swollen area!. Could it be broken or what!? Also when I was putting my shirt on it took some effort because my collar bone was hurting when I was trying to fit my arm through the sleeve!.
Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
it sounds like you chipped it or broke it, that one can't be set so all they will do is make you wear a sling, go and get an x-ray because it can cause extensive damage, and you may need surgery down the road!.

good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The first, meet a doctor and get your shoulder xrayed, you can confirm a fracture only with it!. You shouldn't do much exercise with the injured arm and you can get a sling for your arm for keeping it from aggravating the pain and the internal damage, you can ask for help to dress and, principally, make an appointment with a doctor!.!.!. I think it maybe be broken, but a collar bone break heals fast and with no trouble!.!.!. Good luck and well wishesWww@Answer-Health@Com

I broke my collarbone 3 weeks ago by falling on it!. When i broke mine i couldn't move my arm at all and i was in a lot of pain but i fractured it pretty badly!. I still have difficulty putting my shirt on!. I think you should go get xrays cause its pretty easy to break your collarbone espcially if you fall on it!. I wish you good luck =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It appears that the collar bone is fractured !.An X-ray will confirm!.
A fractured collar bone generally heals well!. What is required may be only a special bandage!. No surgery will be required and no plasters needed!.
