    steps to take

    gp first for an x-ray
    then to see the surgeon if possible.

    the screws may loosen as the bone grows, since it was done when you were 16 and have grown since it may of moved slightly

    my collar bone cracks and causes tingling every now and then, but thats due to a nerve which is through the area..

    Thanks ladies. I might go to the drs tomorrow and get a referral for an xray, hopefully i can get in on tuesday so DP can come with me. My biggest worry is that the screws have become loose and ill require surgery again. I've had nothing but issues since the damn thing was put in. It aches all the time, i can't carry anything heavy and i can't throw balls without excruiating pain shooting up my arm.

    as you have grown it may of upset the growth plates..
    t may need to come out and get re aligned (worst case scenario hun don't stress)
