Where exactly is the pain--at one end of the clavicle or more in the center? How long does the pain last?

Customer replied 417 days and 7 hours ago.

The pain is near my left shoulder. The pain dosen't last long maybe 30 seconds at the most. And the pain is not unbearable more of a naggy annoying pain.

Yes the hurt does move to the shoulder. Yes the area does seem very tender.

OK--sounds like some inflammation of the acromioclavicular tedon that secures the clavicle to the part of the shoulder blade that forms the anterior portion of the shoulder or you may have a touch of bursitis of the shoulder itself. Ibuproven, topical capsaicin cream, and heat will usually take care of this but if not have a doctor take a look and see if a cortisone injection is needed.
