| I had been practicing bikram youa for about a year when I sustained an injury to the base of my clavicle bone. The point of the bone where it meets the other clavicle bone is swollen and somewhat tender. This injury occurred from a pose- maybe half-moon. The injury is several months old and is still not better- I have stopped yoga for about a month. I would like to go back to bikram but i cant until I'm better. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. |

| The clavicles don't touch each other. Do you mean the sternal end, which articulates or touches the manubrium of the sternum? Or do you mean the acromial end, which touches the acromion process of the shoulder? (That's the bone that really protrudes on the top of your shoulder.) |

| mjb,
Do you mean the pit of your neck? Have you seen a doctor? If not go see one and see what they have to say

| Please note that it is absolutely common to dislocate those delicate 1st and 2nd ribs. I strongly suggest you contact a chiropractor or osteopath right away. Putting them back is far less painful than living with them out. It must be hard to breathe, bend, laugh, or even smile
Half moon has nothing to do with it, although raising the arms would be painful. Positions that crunch, such as Sasasana (Rabbit), Kurmasana (Turtle), etc., cause pressure on that tiny insertion point and can cause them to slip out.
I know how painful this can be, but it can be fixed. Look for someone who deals with alternative medicine and who might practice yoga.
