Hello. I was very healthy female until this occurred and now I'm not sure of anything.
Few weeks ago I had one very difficult inflammation of tonsils and I drank several antibiotics for about two weeks.
Now, I can say that my tonsils are fine but I got one another problem.
Recently I have discovered a "lump" above my left collarbone.
It could well be my collarbone, but it really sticks out and it's only on my right side, not on my left.
I'm very afraid because I don’t know what can cause this lump above collarbone and I hope only that it isn’t something serious.
Please, if anybody had similar lump, provide me any details which could calm me down!
First of all, like you said, it could be one part of your collarbone so you might need X-ray to see if it's a bone growing out or whatever.
If this is the case, it could be one benign tumor called osteochondroma.
You didn’t say did you have pains connected with this lump so I can’t say much about it.
There are some things that crossed my mind and I will tell you what it could be.
First of all, it could be some simple lymphadenitis- inflammation of lymph node caused by some bacteria found in lymph flow.
I must say that there is one typical sign of stomach cancer is lump above collarbone caused by metastasis of this tumor.
So, you don’t have to loose any more time- contact your general practitioner and schedule and examination. Good luck!
my girlfriend is having similar problems, she found a lump on her left collar bone. About a week before, she said her left shoulder was twitching. and now that the lump is there her skin is very sensitive and still twitches. She is 15 and I'm worried for her, but from what I've researched it might just be a lymph node but I want more opinions. I told her to go see a physician asap due to the number of breast cancer links I've seen
Hello,
I am a 42 year old female and about a week and a half ago a golf ball sized lump just showed up on my right collar bone. I have had an ultra sound and it is not soft tissue (so not a gland). It is hard just like the bone and located at the very tip of the right clavical closet to the throat. It is very round and pronounced. I have had a CT scan and it shows nothing... Everththing I have read is not good. My entire neck is very itchy and is now red from me scratching it. No one seems concerned but me and I am very concerned as I know having a golf ball lump at the front of my neck can't be normal. Help... Does anyone have any suggestions or comments for me???

Hello I am healthy 15-years-old too and I discovered a bump in the same spot. I'm worried about what it is, any ideas? It doesn't give me any pain but it bothers me that it's there.
I just went to the doctors today and he said that it was actually just a bone in my rib cage. He also said that it's perfectly normal for people to have bones that bump out as no one is perfectly symmetrical :D
I am a 51 year old female and I have had the same challenge - swelling in both sides of the neck just above the collarbone. Actually, the left side is fuller than the right also when the finger is run over the left collarbone you can feel something like a vein moving under the finger - it is not a lump but it is long like a vein; the doctor has confirmed that it is a vein. About a year and a half or two, I had a sonogram done to both neck and throat; the resultswas normal. Doctor says it's deposits of fat. I was also diagnosed as having hypo-thyroid. Doctor put me on thyroxine but when I looked it up on line and found out that one would be on the medication for the rest of your life I did not refill the prescription - believing the Lord for complete healing.
By the way, the swelling gets bigger (puffier) if l carry something too heavy in my left hand , a heavy bag over my shoulder or simply do too much. I don't get pain per se' mainly there is discomfort especially in the left side and a tightenning pressure along the left side of the neck and up to the ear. However if I shrug my shoulders I would feel slight pain.
Last August I slipped on car mats and felt the pull in my chest so I concluded I pulled a muscle (in the left side of my chest directly under the collarbone). Recently I have aggravated the muscle but it is much improved.
I have had an injury to my neck over 30 years ago and a broken collarbone when I was a child; don't know if those have anything to do with the present condition. Nevertheless I am believing God for complete deliverance from these minor set backs.
I just want to express appreciation to all of you who have shared your experiences. I hope I have explained what someone else is going through and they in turn could share with me what advice, medical or otherwise that may be of help.

I have swelling on each side of my neck as well. One morning I could'nt lift my right arm to get dressed an noticed this; made a visit to the doctors, I was given muscle relaxers and pain relievers which I used one month, there was no diagnosis so I discontinued them.I have had the same increase of size after heavy lifting also if I strain having a move.I have searched the web since this began 9 months ago although I still am unsure of origin I now believe it's muscle related.Several months prior I purchased a very tall bed that I had to lift my weight getting into as well out of to get past my husband, my side was next to the wall a strained muscle one theory the other thing that comes to mind is initially there was swelling on the back of my neck which I had massaged by a guy in the mall a week or two before the pain and inability to raise my arm which incidentally only lasted 3 days after Dr.s visit further reason I decided not to continue the med's. more than a month. I have transferred my fears of cancer ,m.s., lupus,hyperthyroidism,etc. to trust in the LORD who knows all things and is able to heal us all.You did'nt mention fatigue which I have been experiencing my prayers are with each of you for healing and peace of mind.
Please get a second opinion, everyone! Some general swelling on the left without a pronounced lump ... AND a hard pronounced lump above the right collar bone (clavicle) WAS indeed cancerous lymphoma im me, even though no cancer runs in my family. Such swelling of the lymph node areas is called 'adenopathy'. "Doctors often miss it," said one of the examining instructor/doctors while I was in-patient. She had all her young doctors come up and feel my neck area -- especially the 'less obvious left side -- to see what it was like. I am 39.
'About.com' says: "Hodgkin's disease occurs most often in people ages 15 - 40 (especially in their 20s), and in people over age 55. About 10 - 15% of Hodgkins disease cases are diagnosed in children and teenagers. It is slightly more common in males than in females." This is my story; a few months ago I trolled forums like these hoping I didn't have 'it'. I was wrong.
Late Autumn 2009 I started noticing a little lump above my right collar bone, maybe an inch above ... It was a hard lump, and reading around lately, I learned that hard ones have already metastisized (that is, spread their disease) ... Back then, I thought maybe a bone had come out of place ... there was no cancer in my family ... I seemed to be having an upper respiratory infection around this time, too, and someone said that's why the jugular lymph nodes sometimes swell. (In the left nodal area was only a general 'mass-like' swelling, yes, not so defined or as alarming looking.) By May the lump that was once a small pebble size was a plum size and with lots of 'fatty-like soft swelling all around) I still had the upper respiratory infection, too. Backtracking a bit, by February I had developed a dry cough as well, (usually dry, sometimes a light greeny phlegm surfaced -- i.e. bacterial upper respiratory infection) and I had developed a constant pressure around my windpipe and esopghagus that made me feel as though I was being choked from the inside. I though that was the infection's fault. But nights I would wake to a slight pain in my head and realize it felt as though the blood was stuck -- that it had entered my head but was not coming back down. I would have to sit up and shake my head out, sometimes wait several moments, rotating my neck and head until things normalized ... then I would usually find going to sleep on my side with some upright inclination would keep my head 'clear'. i thought it might have to do with that growing lymph node and the infection's swelling of my pharynx. Swallowing was not smooth either, anymore. The same sort of thing would happen when I bent down to pick up heavy loads or when I exerted myself causing blood to flow in greater amounts to my face and head. By late April, early May, the lump was reaching plum-size , and three mornings I awoke to an alarmingly bloated face, one time with slight feeling of numbness/paralysis on the right side of my face (same side as the lump's) that only 'let go' when I slapped the cheek and massaged the skin. I also noticed my legs and arms had begun to bloat slightly. As time went by, my posture became poorer the straighter I stood, because my breath and circulation to the head was increasingly cut off with standing straight. Putting my arms above my head made me cough and incited a choking feeling with a cut in the circulation to my head as well. However, I never lost weight during this time, making me also hope I could not have cancer. The lump rarely hurt; only once in a while it would hurt, as if it was being squeezed/pinched hard. But it would pass. I seemed to want to eat a lot of vegetables ... the idea of lots of green vegetables was especially appealing. (Your body tells you what you need if you don't abuse it.) Finally on May 12, I went to a good internal medicine doctor I found at . She was also affiliated with a Chicago hospital (Northwestern Memorial) well-known for some of the best cancer treatment in the area. The nurse who preceded her in that day said a lump like mine was not from a mere respiratory infection. I showed the doctor the swollen gland (lymph node) and told her about the respiratory infection; she asked me if I experienced any facial and limb bloating, vision problems, night sweats, fatigue, etc. (I had actually, very recently, experienced 'Picasso vision' two times after waking up -- one night and one morning... I assumed at the times it happened that it had, like the facial bloating, something to do with not waking up in time to catch and correct for a 'blood flow' issue). After a physical palpation to see if I had swollen nodes she could feel in other places, she ordered an x-ray of the chest and supra-clavicular area (' above the clavicle) (both a side view and a front view). She read the x-rays immediately, and reported I had many more of these enlarged nodes all around my heart and down below the clavicles pressing on my windpipe. I had 'superior ven-cava syndrome' -- the enlarged lymph nodes constricted the blood flow from the main artery of the heart ... blood often backs up in the head and limbs ... a medical emergency. She hospitalized me immediately. They did a MUGA to get the 'baseline' normal video functioning of my heart to compare it to in case future chemo adversely affected heart function. They did A CATSCAN, A PET CT scan, then an extraction of a piece of the plum-sized lymph node above my clavicle for a biopsy. Then they extracted bone marrow to see if the disease had spread there. Diagnosis: 'Hodgkin, nodular sclerosis type lymphoma'. I was Stage 2, meaning all disease was still above the diaphragm, and it hadn't spread to the marrow yet. Anti- inflammatory steroids helped reduce the size of the nodes until they had discovered the exact kind of lymphoma I had and whether or not it was in the marrow-- this helped decide the chemo to be given. If I had had the thing diagnosed when it was only a single lump, that is, 'Stage 1', I would not have needed as much chemotherapy. Please don't wait . Look up a good internal medicine doctor affiliated with a hospital good for cancer treatment (see) You want a doctor who consistently makes good diagnoses and listens to patients. Even if you have to go into the nearest big city for it ... PLEASE GO NOW! Get a second opinion. ~A.M. P.S. Once you get chemo: Clear chicken brith with lots of fresh ginger is very anti-nausea/very anti-metal taste in the mouth ... Also, try to drink 19oz. water each hour and a half or so; it helps against nausea/bad taste ... and helps the therapy/wate removal ... and also, to avoid nausea, take no high-acid/high-spice or high-bitter-high-salty foods (and DON'T TAKE ginger PILLS--they weaken the chemotherapy's effectiveness for some reason). Take your anti-viral pill (Acyclovir) prescribed you after you have eaten a bit at least, and with lots of water ... or better, with some milk ... the high acid taste that melts in your mouth is horrible if you're even a little nauseated, and you may lose it! Cancer gives you a higher likeliness of blood clots, so definitely avoid 'stasis'/non-moving ... especially with 'hairpin folds' in your limbs' position -- knees, arms ... Learn to pray/talk to God from your most sincere and trusting heart. Have lots of people praying for you, too. Listen/wait for God to answer when you pray, and after. He uses your background to communicate with you. Images, symbolic imagery, memories He brings to you, a complete or partial phrase that comes to mind without your energy, (few people hear a distinct voice, though some do) ... Just be sure to pause sometimes, truly want and expect Him to answer, and leave yourself in quiet, waiting, for at least as much time as you've taken to talk to Him. It takes practice. The Holy Spirit also will bring to mind things H'ed like you to pray FOR. Because God gave us free will, so He can't act 'do' for us if someone's not asking and persistent about it ... (The Bible is full of proof of that.) Know the answer is not always what we want, so pray for insight, clarity and peace while He answeers in His merciful, loving Will. Offer up to the Father your suffering with Jesus' suffering for your prayer intentions/concerns and for salvation of souls and those in purgatory. St. Paul talks about the efficacy of this in the Bible, and so have many saints since. Divine Revelation has never stopped over the centuries. See . Have a good attitude. Ask God to help you forgive any who have offended you ... Pray that the offenders may not continue to offend ... (I had a tremendous problem with one person I couldn't forgive over the year before my diagnosis, and, honestly, I do think that had everything to do with the onset ... it was so intense a feeling from the heart, and for too long ... I just couldn't quite let it go) So now, forgive. Ask God to help you with anything that remains. alk to Him honestly about your feelings, and be open ti His response, to Light the way to understanding. Accept the condition, and trust in God. Take faith form wherever you can get it. He knows what's happening and why. See what you and others can learn from the experience. See the good that can result. Praise Him. He loves you as His favorite --- as He does EACH of us. He's told thisd to saints: He can love this way because He's infinite. God bless you. I am praying for all of us who have cancer, and for those who have cancer of the soul, which is worse, because it can mean eternal death. Please do pray likewise. You'll be peaceful and have joy that you did; this will have transformed itself into a great opportunity for grace for all of us! Please offer your suffering to God with Jesus' on the cross for Peace for our world -- peace and total conversion of EVERY heart and mind, because in the end, we truly must desire everyone to get to heaven. Hell is a terrible place, and it's forever. (Borrow Howard Storm's book "My Descent into Death" and see Mary Lou McCall's 2-part interview of Howard Storm on YouTube.)

Maybe yours is vascular (i.e.,vein) issue and not cancer? You describe feeling a VEIN ... swelling/puffiness/pressure with increased effort (circulation's definitely involved)... difficulty with arm ... Old collar bone breakage, too ... Yes, it could be a vein PROBLEM. Possiblities?
I'm not a professional, but I ran across some of these ideas now ... and only the top one when when I was looking for answers months ago about what, in me, turned out to be cancer ...
Could it be: 'Thoracic outlet syndrome'? Doctors sometimes miss this. See:
Be sure to click on the little picture icon on that page to better see the area implicated :
(Click around to read more once there.)
Or? Is 'subclavian vein thrombosis' a possibility?
Or? Sometimes there are vascular (i.e. blood vessel) complications resulting from collarbone breakage. E.g., see:
Or? Internal jugular vein vascular malformation ...
Just see a good vascular surgeon affiliated with a good hospital for this issue; this MAY just be about veins, if it's not cancer ....
Keep praying and keep your eyes and ears open ... as you know He often sends you help through others ... and often wants a doctor to heal you. God Bless you. I'll pray for you, too.

I am 51 year old female and I guess about a week or so not sure but yesterday noticed that my lump was golf ball sized in the same place! Prior to it appearing, I had some discomfort for about a month in my right arm/neck/shoulder area. It felt like my arm was just going to fall off and I would compensate by resting my arm in a upright position. Now I have noticed that if I relax my right arm the pain generates up to that point. I dont know what is going on but I have a Drs. Appt today. Will share what he says.
Hi im a 13 year old Girl and i just currently Found a lumb Or bumb Above my Left collar bone its Big Buts its Been like this for 3 To 4 Weeks and it hurts Everynow and then. tHE Bumb hurts its self annd IT makes My Collar Bone hurt also.
Now Should I be worried? Im planing on going to the docters In a week Or soo and Gunna get a Biopsey done maybe But I would like to know what it might be Some people Told me it could Be Canser Or a tumer, Or A sist. Im worried.
