Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to a calcium build up.
I suggest to do a chest xray to confirm the nature of the lump.
If it is a calcium buid up there is nothing to be worried.
Meanwhile, I suggest to use painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg for pain relieve.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
