Clavicle dysfunction ?

[Jojo37]

Hey ! Just an update to say that I went to an orthopedic doctor/surgeon as you suggested.
He confirmed that this is probably a subluxation. Just advised me to not put my elbow too far back, past my torso.

I'm just wondering if the ligaments can heal over time or if I'm going to be stuck with chronic subluxation forever (I forgot to ask him). I heard of dry needling and prolotherapy, what do you think of these ? It seems very difficult to find practioners of these in any case.
Do you have other suggestions that could help the recovery ?


Thank you !!

Hi Agnes,

Unfortunately I didn't try any further therapy to fix the problem. I simply keep working out while paying attention. I often feel some light inflammation in the area coming from the instability and the bone-against-bone rubbing. This might provoke arthritis in the long term and I should probably be careful.

Good luck with your search ! I'm interested if you find something effective

I am undergoing prolotherapy now. In 2 weeks time I will have fourth injection. I do feel improvement, it skips much less but is still painfull. My SC joint is a bit lower than the healthy one and I am thinking about mobilisation or manual manipulation to enncourage it into correct position. Something skips in my arm as well and it certainly is connected with the problem in SC joint (started together) but MRI shows nothing abnormal in my shoulder. I whish it had never happened but well.....If you had such possibility try prolo it seems to work.
