I have had severe pain the is continous along the right side of my chest right up the outside of the breast and climbing right up into the collar bone area. The collar bone on that side seems to pop in and out of place and is very painful when this happens. I am receiving pain blocks along the inside breast and collar bone to try and relieve the pain and it works but only for about a month. Now I noticing the pain has jumped to the left inside breast area and working up towards the collar bone. There are times I cannot even find the collar bone on the left side due to the right side being so "forward". Is there any relief in sight for this problem? Or am I doomed to live with it forever?
