what can cause pain in your clavicle area
Swelling of the tendons or medically known as tendonitis can also cause clavicle pain. The tendons link the muscles to the bones. Due to stress, the tendons can be inflamed resulting to pain. 1  Any cause of swelling in the abdomen area can also result to clavicle pain.
Cancer. Cancer of the bone is not a common cause of clavicle pain but it is a possibility. The cancer may arise in the bone itself, in which case it is referred to as a primary malignancy, or it can spread to the bone from other sites in which case it is referred to as secondary cancer.
This type of pain can also be a result of certain bone diseases. This condition is commonly known as collar bone pain, but for the sake of discussion letâs use the generally accepted medical term, which is clavicle pain. The most common cause of clavicle pain is a fracture in the clavicle itself. In many cases, the clavicle is protected by hard bones. However, if it received a hard beating, a fracture can happen. The clavicle can also be fractured if there is a tension as a result of violent movements.
