Why do i get pain under my right collarbone?
Not sure precisely where you're talking about (between which two bones?), but there are muscles around that area too, so it could just be a sprain of some sort. Do you feel any tender lumps there? If you do, it may be enlarge glands that are painful.
What causes pain in my neck, shoulder blade and arm on left side?
Radiculopathy, results from nerve root impingement and/or inflammation that has progressed enough to cause neurologic symptoms in the areas that are supplied by the affected nerve root(s). The peripheral nervous system begins at the nerve roots. Each segment of the spinal cord gives rise to a ventral or anterior motor and a dorsal or posterior sensory nerve root. The spinal nerve roots can be damaged as they traverse the spinal (vertebral) canal, but are especially vulnerable in the intervertebral foramina, where the ventral and dorsal spinal roots join to form the spinal nerves.The brain and spinal cord receive and send information through muscles and sensory receptors, and the information sent to organs is transmitted through nerves and these nerves also can become compressed or entrapped.Cervical radiculopathy most often arises from degenerative changes that occur in the spine as we age or from an injury that causes a herniated, or bulging, intervertebral disk. The seventh (C7; 60%) and sixth (C6; 25%) cervical nerve roots are the most vulnerable.Degenerative changes -As the disks in the spine age, they lose height and begin to bulge. They also lose water content, begin to dry out, and become stiffer.Disk herniation- A disk herniates when its jelly-like center (nucleus) pushes against its outer ring (annulus). When the damage is severe, nucleus may squeeze puts pressure on the sensitive nerve root, causing pain and weakness in the area the nerve supplies. Disc herniation accounts for 20-25% of the cases of cervical radiculopathy.Risk factors- heavy manual labor requiring the lifting of more than 25 pounds (>11 Kg), pulling, bending, or twisting movements, smoking, and driving or operating vibrating equipment.In young - disc herniation or an acute injury causing foramina impingement of an existing nerve are the most common causes.In elderly - foramina narrowing from osteophyte formation, decreased disc height, degenerative changes of the uncovertebral joints anteriorly and of the facet joints posteriorly are the most common causes.Rare causes are,Tumors of the spine,An expanding cervical synovial cyst,Synovial chondromatosis in the cervical facet joint,Giant cell arteritis of the cervical radicular vessels,Spinal infections.This is a research done by us.

Clavicle (collar bone) Pain?
See your health care provider as soon as possible (orthopedic surgeon), for consultation. Shoulder pain may be localized or may be referred to areas around the shoulder or down the arm. Disease within the body (such as gallbladder, liver, or heart disease, or disease of the cervical spine of the neck) also may generate pain that the brain may interpret as arising from the shoulder. Conversely, pain felt in the region of the shoulder blade or scapula nearly always has its origin in the neck. The collarbone (clavicle) is a frequently fractured bone; fortunately, it has remarkable healing powers. An inability to raise the arm on the affected side is common; the shoulders may also appear uneven. Bandaging the arm to the chest is the only treatment required. A shoulder separation occurs when the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula). When ligaments that hold the AC (acromioclavicular) joint together are partially or completely torn, the outer end of the clavicle may slip out of place, preventing it from properly meeting the scapula. Most often the injury is caused by a blow to the shoulder or by falling on an outstretched hand. After injury it is hard to do a 180 degrees rotation.

And good luck.
Pain in shoulder connected to drinking soda?
Please don't laugh, but I am positive it's gas. That area you describe, the front of your body by your left shoulder, is a prime place for gas pains. I have known several people who went to the ER thinking they were having a heart attack because of that precise pain, and it was gas every single time. The fact that it only happens when you drink carbonated beverages just makes it seem even more likely to me. When you don't drink carbonated beverages a lot, the gas is a lot harder on you than if you drink them regularly. I have a friend who started drinking them only on the weekends once, and he finally stopped and went back to drinking one each day because he got so bloated and it was so painful. Since it is in an area associated with heart problems, you probably want to mention it to your doctor the next time you see him or her for something else, but I am pretty sure he or she will tell you the same thing I have just said. In the meantime, try using something like Gas-X if you get that pain, or try staying away from soda altogether. Good luck.
