Thankyou!! I'm a new grad physio with the same problem!

I have a subluxing L sternoclaviclar joint. Started about 3 years ago. I'd wake up in the morning and it would be 'out' and clunk around for about 10mins then settle. About 6 months ago I had it wrenched out playing basketball so much so that I can't lift my arm above 90 degrees without it popping. My shoulder posture is terrible but my SC joint now moves first whenever I try to reposition. It pops out before I can get my shoulder back. It's really disheartening because of the lack of muscular contributions to stablity of the joint.

It doesn't hurt but I'm more scared that it will contribute to problems down the track.

This thread is the first real information I've been able to find on it. I haven't heard of prolotherapy before - it might be a while before I consider it but at least I know about it!

Just wondering, has anyone else found that the presenting patient has a wide sternum? Because I have an abnormally wide sternum (sternum 3 finger widths between clavicular articulations). Any funny enough I was also a swimmer when I was younger and have recently stared back.

So thankyou! It's a relief to know that i'm not the only one out there
