Clavicle Bone Making a Popping Sound! Posted: 03-30-04 01:30am
I have a 21 year old son attending college
out of state. He was wrestling with a
friend and did something to his shoulder.
He said he has never experienced such pain
and there is a popping feeling where the
clavicle bone meets the sternum. He went
to a doctor but he did not take xrays or
put his arm in a sling. He gave my son
something for the pain and told him to
come back in two weeks. In the mean time
my son is driven to his knees when he
sneezes or coughs. I am very worried and
want my son to go to an emergency room.
Am I over reacting? Is this something
that can heal on it's own or does he need
surgery. He says the bone popping is
driving him nuts.
