Wats up wit my collar bone?
You may need to have an X ray when you feel that it has "popped out", as it may be dislocating (or subluxing) and reducing itself spontaneously. If this is occurring, then it may not show up on X rays unless it is "out" when the film is taken.


If you felt it had "popped out" when the X ray was taken, then the fact that they have said that nothing is wrong simply means that it is not a problem with the bone, but it may be ligaments, tendons or associated soft tissue damage, which do not show up well on X ray. See your doctor if this is the case, for further assessment.


You may need to see a physiotherapist, but you need to get the actual problem defined first.


Your doctor can also prescribe anti inflammatory medications if it is a soft tissue injury, so if you are continuing to have problems, seek medical advice again.
