What Causes Tightness Above The Collar Bone?
Yes I have had a continual tightness above my collar bone for almost two months now....it does not hurt but is just an uncomfortable feeling and the lymph nodes in that same area have been inflamed. This is only taking place on my left side and I am not sure what step I should take.
