What Causes Pop And Swelling Under The Left Collar Bone?

Friday evening I was in the kitchen, not really doing anything, and I felt like a pop under my left colar bone about dead center of the bone. My daughter said that it has stayed slightly swollen half way up the neck all weekend. Lifting a cup of coffee to drink it is very makes it very sore.Shoulder blade opposite side is sore also. Neck a little hard to turn.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Sometimes moving your shoulder can trigger a clicking sound or a popping sensation near where the joint connects at the top of your arm.
That popping feeling is called crepitus.
In some cases, there's a sharp pain or warmth that comes along with a popping shoulder.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses to reduce the inflammation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

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

Kind regards!
