What Causes Painful Nodule In Clavicle?
Painful nodule above my clavicle on the left side near my throat. It s also very tender under the clavicle bone in the chest area, sore on both sides under my armpits and both shoulders very fatigued. I am scheduled for a massage tomorrow, but after reading all of this I may need to see my primary care Physician as well. My shoulders have always been where I carry stress had fatigue, but this is the first time it s been accompanied by the clavicle and pain and chest muscle pain. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged lymph node, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
