What are the causes of pain below the left clavicle?

From a clinical perspective, pain symptoms below the left clavicle are mostly related to subcutaneous fat accumulation or subcutaneous inflammation, and the painful lumps will become larger and larger, so it is necessary to go to a professional hospital for treatment in time; in addition, patients should also pay attention to their diet, not be picky eaters, eat more nutrients, eat more easily digestible foods, drink more water, and finally avoid eating too much white sugar.

1. Causes of pain below the left clavicle

Pain below the left clavicle may be caused by subcutaneous fat accumulation or subcutaneous inflammation. At the same time, the lump has become larger and painful, so it is recommended that you go to a specialist hospital for treatment and receive symptomatic treatment based on the clinician's diagnosis and treatment.

2. Dietary taboos for patients with clavicle pain

1. Avoid partial eclipse

Patients with clavicle fractures often suffer from local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage, etc. The body itself has the ability to resist and repair these, and the body relies on various nutrients to repair tissues, grow bones and regenerate muscles, form callus, and remove blood stasis and swelling. Therefore, nutrition is the key to ensuring the smooth healing of fractures.

2. Avoid indigestible food

Patients with clavicle fractures have limited mobility due to plaster or splint fixation, and they also suffer from swelling and pain in the injured area and mental anxiety, so they often have a poor appetite and sometimes suffer from constipation. Therefore, food should be nutritious, easy to digest and have a bowel movement. Avoid eating foods that are prone to bloating or indigestion, such as sweet potatoes, taro, and glutinous rice. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

3. Avoid drinking less water

Bedridden patients with clavicle fractures, especially those with spine and clavicle fractures, have great difficulty in moving, so they try to drink less water to reduce the frequency of urination. Although this reduces the frequency of urination, greater troubles are also created. If bedridden patients have less activity, weakened intestinal motility, and drink less water, it is easy to cause constipation. Long-term bed rest and urine retention can easily induce urinary stones and urinary tract infections. Therefore, bedridden patients with clavicle fractures can drink water whenever they want without having to worry too much.

4. Avoid eating too much sugar

After consuming a large amount of white sugar, it will cause rapid metabolism of glucose, thereby producing metabolic intermediates such as pyruvate, lactic acid, etc., which will cause the body to be in an acidic poisoning state. At this time, alkaline calcium, magnesium, sodium and other ions will be immediately mobilized to participate in the neutralization effect to prevent the blood from becoming acidic. Such a large amount of calcium consumption will be detrimental to the recovery of fracture patients. At the same time, too much white sugar will also reduce the content of vitamin B1 in the body. This is because vitamin B1 is a necessary substance for the conversion of sugar into energy in the body. Insufficient vitamin B1 greatly reduces the activity of nerves and muscles and also affects the recovery of function. Therefore, patients with fractures should avoid consuming too much white sugar.
