10 Broken Collar Bone Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Pins and Needles
The collar bone, although prone to injury, is still quite tough. That means that any blow that has been significant enough to break the bone is also likely to have caused other damage in the area. This can mean muscle, skin, blood vessels, and nerves.
If you have damaged nerves then it can affect your body’s ability to touch and feel. Considering the location of the collar bone, nerve damage in the area is likely to affect sensations in that arm. This can mean pins and needles while the patient might also experience some numbness. It’s a symptom that medical professionals should always be made aware of.
