Quarter Size Lump Right Shoulder Blade. Pain Down Arm To Elbow. Cured. Same Started Left Side. Fatigue Dizzy. Suggestions?

hi i have a quater size lump in my right shoulder blade. I could not even lay on it with any pressure because it hurt so much. It also made pain down my arm to elbow when I did any sort of work with it. The pain finally stopped after almost a year, but now on my left side in area just below my neck in back is another lump and it is causing the same problems. I go thru bouts of fatigue and sometimes get very nauseous and dizzy at times. Can these be signs of something serious. I do not have health insurance so cannot afford to go to get tests done. Thank you for your time.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The painful lump on the shoulder blade can be a swollen lymph node, a blocked gland, an inflamed bursa or a soft tissue swelling. This needs a direct examination for proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
