Broken Collarbone(Clavicle Fracture) – Symptoms and Causes

Pain

A broken collarbone might be very painful, making it hard to move the affected arms. The sensation can even radiate to surrounding parts. As a result, you can hardly perform any physical activities during the day. Even when you can move your arm, it can only worsen the pain and other symptoms. Also, a grinding sensation can be felt when you attempt to raise your arms. Some simple home remedies can provide temporary relief to the pain, such as cold therapy or OTC painkillers. However, medical attention is necessary to treat the fracture and prevent further complications. [2]
