A member asked:

Cracked collarbone as a child now 30 years later i get pain in collar bone at times, sitting and sleeping ive been using heat to settle it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arthritis: May sure not heart and just the collarbone.See primary.Any abnormal stress on a bone or joint will make an area more likely to develop osteoarthritis.A past fracture would definitely do this.

About 8 years ago I cracked/broken my collar bone, I then had an operation at a public hospital at the time and put a metal pate with screws in. I would like to get xrays done and see if this can be removed as it bothers me.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with a goiter. I had no symptoms at the time. Today, I swear I feel pressure in my collar bone, chest back and neck, bad anxiety, feel like throat is closing, wake up gasping for air so not sleeping. Is this possible?
I've been experiencing bone pain in my arms and legs. It is worst when sitting still or sleeping. Also, I have a swollen collar bone on one side.
Please advise how to sleep comfortably with a fractured collar bone?
