Is Swollen Lump Near Shoulder Blade With Pain In Neck And Back Serious?
I am 42 years old and I have a swollen lumpy area about the size of a silver dollar on my back next to my left shoulder blade.... have had pinched nerve in my neck on and off for about 5 yrs and had an mri done on my neck and had a pinched ventral chord nerve in my neck from canal stonisis... alot of times the pain and discomfort runs into my back and left shouldblade area from my neck....the lump itself is not hurting me or sore just wondering if i should be concerned about it... thanks...
The lump in the shoulder blade is commonly related to lipoma or a cyst. They are both harmless and in case that they don't have symptoms, no treatment is required. In case that you feel pain or enlargement of the lump you should see a surgeon.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
