Hello,
The symptoms that you describe are suggestive of local inflammation.
For this reason, I would recommend performing an ultrasound of the soft tissues in this region and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
