[|Human|] I noticed a hard lump on my clavicle bone at the inside of the right side. It did not hurt but is noticeable. I m not sure if I m imagining some soreness in right shoulder and neck area because of thinking about it, but I do believe I have some minor soreness. What could be the cause of the knot and are the two related?
[|AI|]  Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would examine the lump physically to see if it was originating from the clavicle itself, or it was a lump just adjacent to the clavicle. In the second case, it could be a lymph node swelling common in the cervical region and there has to be a primary focus of some infection or pathology for the lymph node to enlarge. So a detailed physical examination would be needed before deciding on the plan of management. Therefore, I would advise you to please take an appointment for a general surgeon in your area and get it assessed by him. Till then, you could go for an anti inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
