Suggest Remedy For Pain On Left Hand And Inner Shoulder

Hi,I have had this node around my left collar bone for over 10 years now. it is really hard and I thought it was a bone before I visited a doctor. It is painless and on performing an x-ray was told it will have problems when I am 35yrs. I am 26yrs now and I have realized every time I get tired or carry something heavy I feel pain on my left hand and inner shoulder. I am worried. What is the problem and what do I need to do? I am scared of surgery.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I do not know what your doctor is thinking. I think it is most probably either a lymphnode or a fat lipoma. I would suggest you to get a MRi exam of the neck to make sure that there is no herniation of the disc which can compress your neck and can cause pain in the arm. For this swelling get a needle biopsy and if it is causing you any trouble then get it removed.
