Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Hard lump causing shooting pain could be a neural tumor.
2. Get an FNAC done to identify the type of lesion. Inflammation would have been painful. It is more possibly a neoplastic lesion.
3. Based on FNAC report, further opinion is possible. Also take calcium supplements. It could be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
