General Surgeon 's  Response
HI. This lump may not be associated with the pain you explained.
Go for X-ray of the cervical spine as this is the commonest cause of pain in one side of arm and chest.
The incidental finding of the lump at a place may not be significant.
Yet yo have to consult a Doctor for a clinical check-up which is very vital.

I find this answer helpful
