I have a small pea sized lump just below my left clavicle which has been there for 6 weeks now. In the last few weeks another lump has appeared on my back at the top of my shoulder. I have been suffering with unexplained back pain since may last year and am being treated for chronic pain. I have started to notice things but they are happening but not all the time these include itchiness on my lower legs, profuse sweatingat night, sharp needling pains in the lump near my collarbone. I have been to my doctor and he says they are fatty lumps but he also said i had mechanical back pain that would get better within a few weeks and here we are 8 months later and i am no better and feeling like no one cares so i am no longer confident in his diagnosis. Can you help?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of pain in the back for one year and not getting resolved in spite of the treatment, and selling below the clavicle and the shoulder as you have mentioned. In my opinion, when you are suffering for such a long and not getting healed up, it is the best way to consult a Specialist and get clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI done. The swelling too needs ultrasonography and FNAC to see whether this is lipoma, sebaceous cyst or lymph node or something else and the best way is to get it operated for 2 reasons.1. You get the disease out of the body and 2. You get the confirmed histopathological diagnosis and certain for the reasons and get further treatment as required.
