Sternoclavicular Joint

Hi, having flares in SC joint and frustrated with recovery. Anyone had similar issues with this joint and what did you do through recovery period?
Thanks

  1. Ouch @Wm145598 ! I tend to have issues with my left side. I'll admit, I had to look up and see which joint you were actually talking about. 😀
    For me, the best thing I have found to help is rest it as much as possible. If I find myself trying to use my arm without paying attention, sometimes I will even throw on an old sling, just to make sure it rests.
    The only other thing I use is basically that muscle rub in case the ligaments and muscles around it are also irritated. I haven't had much luck with ice or heat for that area.
    I'm sure others will chime in with their experiences soon. Until then, I hope this particular pain subsides quickly. -Leanne (Team Member)
