Reason for deep ache in the collar bone?
Patient: I have a deep ache in my collar bone specifically starts aching at night time. Im thinking it might be from lifting weights especially weighted dips. I am a bit of a worrier so im thinking this is the worst and i have an HIV infection. Would love to know what you think? Doctor: Hi,  Since you have other medical complications you need to take a guidance from your physician if you can really do strenous exercise like weight lifting. This kind of weight lifting exercises aren't advised to people without having any medical clearance.  I feel you have sprained the Acromioclavicular ligament and that might be cause for the pain. For time being try to avoid lifting weights and focus more on breathing exercises along with hot water fermentation at the pain site. You should do well in 5-6 days. Also, will request you to consider your primary physicians advice before doing any heavy exercises.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
