Suggest Remedy For Lump In Collarbone
I have a hard lump on my collar bone just below my throat on the right side near the center. Notice it about a month ago. No weight gain or loss. Very noticeable by sight. About 1 in diameter. I am a 64 year old male, very active with Martial Arts, Stand up Paddle surfing, and golf. My right shoulder is pretty torn up. I ve been told I need surgery. Putting it off as long as possible,.

Hello. I think you are having two sets of problem.
1.Hard bony swelling can be a bone growth for clavicle. Not a serious issue, needs to take care of this. X ray can confirm what is happening. If there is abnormal bone then it will needs attention.
2.For rotator cuff there is needs for surgery. If you are delaying it then it can cause problems.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
