In 2007 I fell and broke the left clavicle. The bone became displaced and popped up. The first surgery they tied the bone down with some kind of wire. It broke and popped up again. The second surgery, 2 permanent screws were implanted to hold the bones together. My body rejected the foreign hardware and the screws had to be removed along with them having to cut out part of my collar bone. The arthritis set in almost immediately. 2 years later I fell on my left side and went and had x-ray's done. The bone is not broken, but I cannot use the left arm due to the massive amount of pain. I think I need an MRI to check the Rotator Cuff.
