10 Broken Collar Bone Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Immobility of Shoulder
The shoulder joint is quite flexible and strong. In addition to bone, there is also cartilage and muscle that helps keep it together and helps it to move. Still, a break of one component may cause the whole joint to become immobile. If you have broken your collar bone then you may not be able to move your shoulder at all.
Regardless of ability, you should not really try to be moving your shoulder anyway. Doing so might cause further damage so it is best to keep it as still as possible. If an ambulance is on the way, just stay as still as possible until it arrives.
