Reason For Pain In The Shoulder And Collar Bone?

I thought I hurt myself moving boxes and furniture a couple weeks ago...it is the front side of my shoulder and collar bone on the right side.....it doesn't hurt all the time..only when I bend forward to wipe the floor or something low...or when I make the bed, bending forward.....this morning I noticed that there are veins showing up really dark on that part of my chest that I hurt. It looks like my shoulder is swollen some and maybe not looking like the other shoulder...I don't know..maybe I am just being ridiculous.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

According to your history and complains yes such kind of pain can due to compression of nerve and muscle sprain due to boxing .

Another differential can be rotator cuff injury which may need MRI for confirmation.

Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.

Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- gradual neck rotation, touching your ears to shoulder, shoulder shrugging exercises.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
Regards
