10 Broken Collar Bone Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Swelling
A broken bone will need repairing and our bodies will instantly set the repair process into motion. This means setting up an emergency zone in the area of the break with emergency supplies being transported to the area. This results in a swelling around the break as fluids are sent carrying repair materials and white blood cells.
The body reacts quite quickly to injuries, so you should expect the swelling to occur almost immediately. It will gradually continue to swell and the overall swelling will depend on the extent of the injury. After a while, the swelling will begin to recede as emergency supplies are withdrawn from the area.
