I had an orif of my clavicle one month ago. i am experiencing some swelling, numbness, redness, a little yellowing and pain at the surgical site. ?

See your doctor : Swelling and redness may be normal during healing, but may suggest infection too. Numbness can be chronic or temporary after any surgery. Yellowing is confusing- if it is a yellow fluid or discharge than you should see you doctor for sure.
