Did he say what the liquid was?
Gel pads appeared approx. at the same time that I started having breathing problems while sleeping. At first I thought the reason could be sleep apnea. But it is not the same experience. I recorded myself sleeping with my cellphone and it does not sound like someone that momentariy stops breathing. It sounded like very slow and half clogged breathing. Sounds louder and slower than Darth Vador breathing. But when awake breathing is perfect.
I've had the clavicle swelling for probably 26 years! No doc has ever noticed it said anything and it's never been swollen while I'm there (of course). I once was told it's from stress tightness in my shoulders. I carry all my stress on top of my shoulders and often notice the swelling when my muscles are tight. St physicals etc. the doc always checks my lymph nodes and have never said anything. Based on all the comments on this post I don't think it is even worth bringing up because they will say it's nothing. Mine is swollen now which led me to the web and I took naproxen so I can see if that helps. Good luck!
I'm wondering if my swelling between by neck and shoulder (not on my neck, but very close to it) is related to my C6 and C7 herniated disks. I've had the swelling for about a week now, mostly on the right side but it's starting a little on the left too. The chiropractor said I had forward head posture and need to have better posture. The swelling also occurred after I had taken muscle relaxers for a few nights. My herniated discs act up periodically and I can only sleep comfortably on my back or on my left side. I don't really notice much pain, just a little discomfort or tightness and the swelling does feel gel like. I'm wondering if lymphatic massage would help.
Please let us all know.
Agreed... Update for me - The doc poked and prodded and said she couldn't even feel the lymph nodes, so they aren't swollen or abnormal. All blood work came back stellar. I too carry my stress in the top shoulders. I explained the B-vitamin I started taking and the doctor agreed that COULD be a deficiency at work. Lastly, the shoulders are just about even, don't even notice it anymore. Massage therapist coming out on Sunday and I have to schedule a ultrasound for carotids and I'll have them scan that particular area as well. I am beginning to think all is good, just stress and keeping up on vitamins and hydration.
I also have swelling on both sides of neck just above clavical. I am also experiencing neck stiffness and muscle spasms on muscle down my neck to inside of shoulder blade. No one has any answers. They look like gel like packs. If anyone has any answers it would be great to know what it is. Had xrays few months ago and they did not find anything. Heat seems to help for a short period of time.
I had same thing, had ultrasound and it showed nothing so Dr concluded they were "fatty pads" ☹️
In my case I don't think it's fat. It's part of the inflammation I suffer from autoimmune issues. I have Hasimoto's thyroditis

Drinking have to do with it?
