What Causes A Lump On Top Of Shoulder?
Husband, age 69, was doing his regimen of exercises. One of those is to lift weights (30 lbs.). Suddenly a lump has appeared on top of his shoulder. It is about the size of one side of a ping pong ball. . .perhaps a little smaller. After some research, I m leaning toward separated shoulder . What to do? And what is your opinion?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a separated shoulder. I suggest to do an X-ray of the shoulder to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest to avoid moving the shoulder. In case of pain, I recommend to use Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
