A member asked:

Can you get muscles spasms in your collarbone and neck?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Absolutely: There are a number of muscles that run through the general area of the neck and clavicle. For a number of reasons, these muscles can go into spasm. One example is someone who has a pinched nerve in the neck that then can cause pain in the neck going down into the shoulder, often associated with spasm. Thank you for the question.
