Brief Answer:
This can be a lymph node.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

I assume that your lump is above the clavicle. Lump in this location is usually a lymph node. It can appear due to some inflammation or something more serious.
As the lump seems to be associated with arm pain, please check your lymph nodes located deep in the armpit and your right breast.
Breast cancer is the condition which should be ruled out. I suggest you to do not wait with it.
Please consult your doctor and have breasts and armpits ultrasound. The lump should be also checked with an ultrasound.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
