1. Icing the clavicle fracture will relieve the symptoms. 

Icing eases the pain and swelling. It should be done several times a day. When icing the area, place the ice cubes in a towel, so that the ice doesn’t have to be directly on your skin. Let it sit on your shoulder for about 15 to 20 minutes. Don’t try to move your shoulder since it might feel as though the pain has eased. If you keep moving it, it will get worse.

Also, if you have a bruise on your shoulder, it will eventually go away with icing. If it doesn’t always go to a doctor. There may be something more serious going on.
