What Causes A Clavicle Lymph Node Which Is Hard And Swollen?
hi, thought i had a swollen lymph node, not that. Doctors making a appointment for ultrasound. The only thing that shows on google is lymphoma, i was just wondering if there are any other things it could me. Its hard, painless starts on my clavicle and goes up to the other bit (forgot the name) its a few cm long, and my bones (especially my elbow and shoulder blade) on my right arm ache a bit. other than these no real symptoms. Thanks

Dear Patient,
Who has informed you that your swelling is a lymph node, you see hard painless swelling of this size could be any other type of growth, and for that you need investigations, biopsy by niddle or open is the best proof of the nature of tissue of the swelling,
Talk to your doctor about your concerns and sought out the investigative ladder.
