As you were going up into the SM the pole probably rolled onto the collar bone the wrong way and created tissue swelling. No it is not normal, but it does happen. Your skin is swelling to prepare that spot for the possibility of this happening again, its telling you there is a problem and protecting the bone. It will take about a week and a half for that spot to be ready to go. If you push it more on the same spot before it is ready you can cause some serious tissue damage and possible collar bone damage as well. Ice is good, but refraining from it for a bit is better. It will get better 🙂

When you get it just go over to the paint section and buy high temperature auto paint (glossy) for the finish. It works great! I had one in my basement. BUT!!! Dont forget to get cement if you plan on putting it in the ground! And if you need it cut get a pipe cutter ($30), it takes some elbow grease to cut but it works. Before you paint it scuff it up with some sand paper and wipe it down so the paint takes to it better. The pipe, paint (get 2-3 cans of spry paint), cutter and cement should all come to under $90. It will take you about 1 full afternoon (even on your own). Good Luck!!
To Get:
10-13 ft galvanized pipe 1 1/2" to 2" diameter
2-3 cans high heat spray paint
1 bag cement (25lbs)
Pipe cutter (optional)
Possibly a hole digger ( you can rent one there for the weekend) They aren't too big.
I did find bar rails at menards that were brass but they only come in 8ft. And they are only 1 1/2 inches wide (very small). You can ask, maybe they have different stock now.
