I've got a pretty nasty throbing pain at my clavicle, and I found a piece of something that doesn't seem attached to anything else, and there's a concave peice of the bone that's perfctly rounded on the other collarbone.

I am way broke with no medical insurance going to a doctor is out, plus it doesn't seem immediatly threatening. I'm just wondering if anyone else has broken/chipped their collarbone, if they have any advice on what I oughtta do.

i used to wrestle for my high school. and i have broken my collar bone doing it. It hurts like a mother fucker. you cant breathe without feeling pain because your lungs press against your rib cadge which is attached to your collar bone. also you cant sit up out of bed or do anything with your abdomen because your abdominal muscles make your chest move as well. also when mine broke i couldnt move my entire arm and my entire bone swelled up really big. you'd probably know if it was broken... chipped is another story i have no idea.
