getting pain from colar bone..

hey guys and gals,

For the past few days my colar bone has been hurting on the left hand side.. i have made no adjustments on my bike since purchasing it 4-5 months ago.. it just started hurting. When i bend my shoulders forward (towards each other) it hurts the most..

This is not a extremely painfull feeling, just a annoying pain if that description does any justice.


any ideas on what could be causing this? This is my first road bike, and since i have not made any adjustments to the bike as far as positioning goes since i got sized at the LBS, i am wondering if possibly my body has conformed to new habits and i need to get sized up again and make the appropriate changes to the bikes positioning (seat height, ets etc..)


any help would be great

Thanks!

I've kinda had the same feeling (also on my left side) in my neck/shoulder/collarbone region, but I'd attributed it more to bad posture while working on the computer or driving than to riding. If I don't drive a lot, but still ride, the discomfort seems to go away.
