The pain of the topmost bone of the chest refers to the pain of the clavicle, which may be caused by local strain, trauma or local infection.
1. Local strain: the clavicle plays the role of connecting the upper limb and the thorax, and is an important part of the upper limb band, and there are more ligaments on the clavicle, such as the shoulder locking ligament and the rostral locking ligament. Long-term use of the upper limb will lead to ligament fatigue, causing injurious pain.
2. Trauma: when the clavicle is squeezed, collided or hit by external force, it will cause clavicle fracture or soft tissue injury, causing clavicle pain.
3. Localized infection: when patients are infected with tuberculosis or purulent infection, it may involve the clavicle and cause the tympanic membrane to be violated or the bone to be destroyed, thus causing pain.
Long-term symptoms of clavicular pain, should be timely consultation, improve the relevant examination, identify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions to take appropriate therapeutic measures.
