My husband has prostrate cancer which has metastasized to his bones. His shoulders and collar bone hurt a lot. Now he has a swelling just above the collar bone. It s not red or inflamed but is very sore. Any ideas what it is and how we can ease the pain? Thank you!
Hi,Welcome To Healthcare Magic.I understand your concern regarding to your husband’s health.You can treat his shoulder pain by giving him Tablet-Paracetamol  650 mg (if no allergy), 3 times in a day at the interval of 8 hours for 3 days and Tablet-Tramadol 50 mg (if no allergy), twice in a day at the interval of 12 hours for 3 days.Presence of swelling and inflammation just above the collar bone need physical examination and necessary reports so consult your cancer specialist for it.Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them.Wish him good health.Take Care, Thank You.From:- Dr. Prashant Shah
