my horse slipped over the other weekend and i fell onto my right side and onto my coller bone area, 6 days later it is still swollen where it hurts you can feel a lump underneath it is really sore to touch but my arm feels really heavy and achey like all the time with also a tiny bit of tingling in my fingers, you can see where it is swolen just by ooking at it. i had it checked on the day of the event as their was a event abulance person their and i asked if they could just check it for me and they said that he couldnt feel any broken bones i am not restricted in my movement i just cant lift anything with that arm
could it just be a trapped nerve or if it is just brused how long should it take to clear up?
many thanks

You need to x-rays to be taken to rule out a clavicle fracture. It may be minimally displaced and you can not tell if it is broken without radiographs. Some require surgery - for example if there is tenting of the skin. You should see a board certified orthopedic surgeon if you have not already.
