Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.The symptoms you are having are most commonly suggestive of pain due to unnoticed trauma to your collar bone.You might have just ignored the trauma when it happened.

These type of symptoms also occur in thoracic outlet syndrome or in the presence of extra rib.

So,i would suggest you to consult an orthopaedician and take a shoulder X-ray and confirm the diagnosis .

Hope you are happy with the answer.

Thank you
