Cat scans and x rays showed no missalighned c vertibre or broken bones.Followup up Dr unable to determine cause of walnut sized lump above left clavicle and it is very sore.

Thanks for posting your query.
It seems to be organised haematoma due to injury over clavicular area.
So you need a repeat x-ray shoulder for fracture clavicle.
If swelling & tenderness persist , you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for re-exam.
Hope I have answered your query.
