What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation In Shoulder Near Clavicle Bone?

The top of my right shoulder hurts (burning sensation), especially when you touch what I think is the end of my clavicle bone for about a week & the pain is getting worse. Almost feels like I bruised it, but I know that I had not hurt it in any way. 2 1/2 years ago I had 2 herniated disks removed & they put in 2 steel rods. I m not sure whether to see a doctor or treat this at home

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest to avoid the movement of the shoulder to prevent further damage.
If the symptoms continue, you should see a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
