What Causes A Large Lump On Front Side Of The Arm/shoulder?
Had a massage. Within a few minutes of finishing, I had a large lump- the size of half a grape, on the upper, front of my arm/shoulder. I massaged it, pressed it, and it went down. Now I have a bruise. Just noticed in the mirror that the bruise runs right over a large vein that branches down from my neck into my shoulder/arm. Any idea what this could be?
