Clavicle

I am age 65, I have osteoarthritis. I wonder if arthritis caused a large bump at the beginning of the left side of my clavicle? It is very distended, sensitive even to clothing rubbing against this spot, and is painful with pressure applied such as laying on my left side. Your comments please.
