What is injured?: Pain from your collar bone that goes down your arm is unlikely to be life threatening if it has been going on for a week. After more serious problems, the next on the list is pain from injured muscle and fascia...myofascial pain. Advil (ibuprofen) is unlikely to help. Look for a myofascial pain specialist, massage therapist.. www.blatmanhealthandwellnellness.com
