I have a sharp pain on the left side of my collar bone. what can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: The collar bone connects the arm to the torso. On one side is a joint called the acromioclavicular joint and it can be injured or become arthritic or inflamed. On the other side is the joint between the collar bone and the sternum which can have similar problems as well. You certainly would want to make sure it is not cardia related as well. Thank you for your question.

A member asked:
I have a lump on the left side of my collar bone it is soft and moveable, its weird because it will disappear and then reappear throughout the day. If I feel it and move it around it will just go away and then a few minute/hours later I will feel it?
