I travelled to New York 5 days ago and the day after arrival the right side of my neck felt very swollen, I could feel it pulsating. I noticed that my lymph node under my jaw was swollen, but only on the right side. Besides the irritating feeling there was no pain related. This morning while at church I began having extreme shooting pains just above my right collar bone and the slightest movement caused it to pop. I have not done anything recently to injure it that I can remember. I have a history of shoulder injuries including fracturing my scapula in multiple places as well as many other injuries (bull riding injuries) throughout the shoulder area. I am used to having a constand ache and pain throughout the shoulder, but never sharp and radiating pains from the collar bone area. Im just wondering if the swollen neck lymph node and the collar bone pain are related in some way?
Hithanks for question It is unlikely that you have any problem of collar bone might be wrong as I am assuming this without clinical examination based on your symptomsHowever in neck there are not a single lymph node classically lymph nodes in face and neck are divided into 7 regions with 3,4,5 lying in neck these lymph nodes are connected to each other also via ducts have already swollen one lymph node which can happen with any URI, sinusitis or any other related infection this infection could have spread to other nodes leading to infection and inflammationResulting in pain and swelling in neck near clavicle Luke warm water gargle if suffering from trials Chat Doctor. And please do visit your physician so that he can clinically examine you and confirm diagnosis can prescribe appropriate antibiotics if required
