Question 1

what do you suggest if i have a very prominent collar bone and i want to reduce them. can anybody suggest a way, or any exercise?

Accepted Answer

If it's not causing: Any problems besides cosmetically, be careful about anything aggressive like surgery.  Otherwise, while you can build up the pectoral(chest), deltoid(shoulder) and trapezius muscles to "hide" the collar bone, it usually results in the big neck body builder aesthetic which most people aren't interested, not only that it really take significant muscule hypertrophy to get to that "hiding" stage.

Question 2

center of my collar bone, on the right side, is larger than the left side. like it's rounder and sticks out kinda. no pain, no injuries. noticed a couple months ago. should i b worried n c dr?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you've had no old injuries.  This asymmetry may not be pathological. It has been stated by some studies that over 20% of people have asymmetry of collarbones. If you still have concerns, have your physician or an.orthopedic specialist examine and advise you.

Question 3

one side of my collar bone sticks out more than the other. i was a huge baby. related?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Sometimes the collar bone can fracture during delivery.  Usually, fractures as an infant will heal without deformity.  Have you had a recent injury?  I would have it evaluated to make sure there is not a mass or more significant problem.

Question 4

my right collar bone is oddly shaped. it sticks out towards the left end and has a noticeable dip towards the end. is this something i should worry ab?

Accepted Answer

No: No, i would not worry about it, but it might be wise to be evaluated.  It can be something related to the collar bone, or it may be related to an rotation of your torsoe that can occur in conditions such as scoliosis.  Don't worry, but be seen.

Question 5

my left collar bone sticks out more then my right and its pointy where it sticks out at the base of the neck and my right one doesn't. it doesn't hurt?

Accepted Answer

Normal.: Some asymmetry is normal. As long as this is longstanding and not enlarging i don't think there is much to worry about.

Question 6

what are some exercises to keep fit with broken collar bone?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends upon the recommendation from your orthopedic physician. The recumbent stationary bike is typically a good option for cardio fitness without aggravating the fracture. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist before attempting any exercise.

Question 7

2 small bony protrusions on the far end of my collar bone that stick out  . can i buy a tool for sculpting bone to correct it since they poke out?

Accepted Answer

No: Clavicle or collar bone has several anatomical parts, consists of head, body, angle with ligaments attached to the scapula.  It is not advisable to perform any self assisted surgery, which carries high risk for infection, bleeding and anatomical trauma and nerve injury.

Question 8

i think my manubrium sticks out i'm very skinny and only recently noticed it there's a round feeling bump just below my collar bone and just above the breast right in the middle it's not huge but also not tiny it also feels bone like and immovable?

Accepted Answer

: Bony prominences immediately lateral to the manubrium could be the costochondral joints that attach the ribs to the manubrium. If your finding is definitely new, fixed in position,  and even farther lateral to those costochondral joints then see your primary for examination. An x-ray can identify superficial bony findings

Question 9

my collar bone is sticking out (past 60 days). i've been told via a ct scan it's a ganglion cyst pushing the bone. should i request an mri?

Accepted Answer

No point unless Symp: Unless you're having symptoms related to the collar bone (or unexplained symptoms), there's no point to the MRI. It will only show you the ganglion cyst that you know is already there. It won't push you towards surgery, especially if you don't have symptoms, unless you've talked to a surgeon. Get the CT scan report &amp; image b4 talking to your doctor or use HealthTap Prime to discuss further. Thanks

Question 10

how do you break your collar bone?

Accepted Answer

Forward fall: A very common way to fracture the collar bone is to fall forward with your hands out in front bracing for the fall.
