Collarbone

[julie1908]

Hi i have RA which mainly affects my hands feet elbows but the last few days have had severe pain in my collarbone and was wondering if anyone else has had pain here as not really sure if it is to do with my RA or not.

I get pain in my collarbone. I suffer quite badly with my shoulders and I've been advised that it's referred pain. If you're in a lot of pain in general, you may very well be hunching your shoulders and causing spasms. I find that a TENS machine eases soft tissue pain.

Hi Julie, I have had this on and off, and doc said although might not be actual RA there, it is usually related cos' tendons and such get affected by RA too. I quite often get lot of pain in my hip, and RA is not actually in my hip, but tendons and ligaments affected again. I do find that it eases in a couple of days, and can sometimes be weeks or even months between flares, unless you are unfortunate to do something to set it off again!
