Could you have a bone spur on collar near clavicle at base of neck?

It is possible to have a bone spur on the collarbone (clavicle) near the base of the neck. Bone spurs are growths of extra bone that can form on the edges of bones. They are often caused by wear and tear on the joint or by an underlying condition such as arthritis.

Bone spurs on the collarbone can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the neck. They can also make it difficult to move your arm. In some cases, bone spurs can even damage the nerves or blood vessels in the area.

If you are experiencing pain or swelling in your neck, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis. The doctor may order imaging tests, such as an X-ray or MRI, to confirm the presence of a bone spur.

Treatment for bone spurs typically involves pain relievers and physical therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the bone spur.
