M85.11: Skeletal fluorosis Shoulder region
Bone tissue in your shoulder or collarbone has been damaged by fluoride.
If someone consumes too much fluoride over a long period of time, the bone tissue can change. The bone tissue can become unusually elastic and, as a result, more fragile. Bony spurs can also form on the bones.
