About 3 years ago I broke my collarbone and didn't realize it was broken. There was a huge lump which I thought was a contusion or something like that but after it healed my collarbone appears to be in the proper spot but my shoulder is at least an inch or two lower than where it should be. I'm starting to have really limited rotation and movement in that shoulder and it hurts all the time. Anyone know what type of doctor I would need to see or if there is any type of fix to this?

Collar bone doctor. A shoulder doctor would also be a good choice.

Have you been to your family doctor in the past two years? Did they not notice?

Why on earth would you think you would need anything other than an orthopedic surgeon??

I've never broken anything before or been to the hospital for anything, I don't know shite about doctors.

Sounds like HIV.

Go see a urologist.

A veterinarian. They will recommend putting you down but I am pretty sure it is for the best.

Horse doctor in Opelousas.

Or if youre serious, just go to any GP and get referred.

If you don't have any money or insurance, I can probably diagnosis you if I watch you try to throw a ball. Let's see what you got.

You are also a hunchback, Igor. You just can't see it because it is on your back. Just ask anybody.

How do you not realize your collarbone is broken? I’ve broken mine 3 times and it was very clear for about 2-3 weeks it was broken.

Orthopedic surgeon

Maybe there's a bone and joint clinic near you. Find one and call for an appointment.

They'll x-ray and have you perform some range of motion type exercises to assess if the previous injury is what is causing your pain.
