5. Lifting on heavy items can cause a broken collarbone.
It is common for people to lift heavy items at work and at home. This can be a day-to-day thing. It occurs when a person places a heavy item on the shoulder area several times a day. After a while, the bone will break because it becomes weak.
The next time you try to lift a heavy item, it will cause pain. Once the pain occurs, don’t continue lifting on heavy items. It will make the pain worse. It is best to go to the doctor to find out why your shoulder is painful.
After the doctor does a lab and imaging test, he or she will conclude that you have a broken collarbone. At work, you won’t be able to do the heavy lifting. In order to get back to doing your normal daily routines, you’ll need a lot of rest.
