Question: I have got a pin in my left side of my collarbone and it feels very sore to touch and some time it goes just below as on to my chest musal
Brief Answer:
Muscle sprain likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the collar bone can be due to a muscle sprain or a swollen lymph node in the area. You can feel for any palpable lump in the area.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomentation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles.
You should try local pain killer sprays. It does not seem much serious issue but pain should be controlled. There are good medicines which can be used for this purpose, your clinician would know a suitable match for you after examination
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
