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!.

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!.

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!.
