Why Does My Clavicle Hurt Three Months After Removing the Steel Plate?
Three months after removing a steel plate, pain in the clavicle may be caused by local tissue adhesion, soft tissue damage, nerve damage, non-union of fracture, wound inflammation, and other reasons. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and take general treatment, medication, and other methods under the guidance of a doctor based on different causes.
1.
After removing the internal fixation with a steel plate, it will cause a certain degree of trauma to the local tissue, usually causing an inflammatory reaction and surrounding tissue adhesion, manifested as pain symptoms. Medication such as Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsules, Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets, and Cefradine Capsules can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
2.
If improper operation during the removal of the steel plate causes local soft tissue damage, it may also cause pain symptoms. If the symptoms are mild, observation can be given first. If the symptoms are severe, treatment such as Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel, Celecoxib Capsules, and Lornoxicam Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
3.
During the removal of the steel plate, the local nerves may be pulled, usually causing nerve damage. Since nerve recovery is relatively slow, it may cause pain symptoms. Medication for nourishing nerves can be taken under the guidance of a doctor, such as Mecobalamin Tablets, Oryzanol Tablets, and Vitamin B6 Tablets.
4.
After removing the internal fixation, screw holes may be left locally, which usually take some time to recover. If the wound heals slowly, it may cause local pain symptoms. Medication such as Vitamin C Tablets, Vitamin B6 Tablets, and Oryzanol Tablets can be taken as prescribed by the doctor.
5.
If the local wound is stimulated by inflammation, it may also be accompanied by local redness, swelling, and pain symptoms. Medication such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Cefixime Tablets, and Cefradine Capsules can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. It is also possible that improper surgical operation is the reason. Good local hygiene and care should be provided. If the pain symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek hospital treatment.
