Broken collarbone, back pain, and neck pain symptoms, please suggest medication for pain relief.
Dealing with a broken collarbone along with neck and back pain can be very uncomfortable. For immediate, at-home pain relief, you can take over-the-counter medications like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) to help reduce the pain and swelling. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the collarbone area for 15-20 minutes can also help soothe the pain. However, a broken collarbone is a major injury that requires a doctor's care. You will likely need an X-ray and a special sling to keep your arm still so the bone can heal correctly. Because you are also having neck and back pain, it is extremely important to visit an urgent care center or emergency room right away. We need to make sure your spine or other bones weren't injured during whatever caused the collarbone to break. Please keep your arm as still as possible and get checked out by a doctor immediately.
