Have Mass Protruding Above Clavicle, Neck And Shoulder Injuries, Compressed Vertebrae, Painful And Lightness. What Is The Meaning?

I have a mass that protrudes just above my clavicle on the left side. I have had both neck and shoulder injuries on that side. I suffer from compressed vertebrae in my neck and had a labrum surgery in the past. I've never fuller recovered from either and have had serious atrophy to that side and arm. The trap on the left side is bigger though but feels strange to the touch. Where as the right feels and looks healthy. I also have quite a bit of tightness in my left pec if that is relevant.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mass protruding above the clavicle could be due to a lymph node swelling, postural deformity due to recurrent injuries or due to fibrosis in the area. A direct examination is needed to find out the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
