Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You notice an enlargement in the clavicle on the right. This is a very common occurrence and is due to arthritis at the joint. This is normal and does not mean anything else. As long as there is no pain there is nothing we would do. Your doctor is correct this is nothing to worry about
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns
