I have a hard knot on the right side of my collar bone, I had an ultra sound this morning even though the doctor said he felt sure it was a lipoma.  The technician scared me when she said she was going to ask the radiologist to step in.  He said that this is not a lipoma, a swollen gland, a cyst or anything like that.  He said I need a CT scan which is a better test for bone.  I have to now wait for my doctor to get the report and schedule the test; of course it is Friday and I cant get anyone at my doctors office.  I have been worried for 3 weeks about this and now I am even more concerned.
Hi, Nothing to worry much. As said by your doctor you need to get test done. The chances of Lipoma are more than compared to cancer or cyst as it is not associated with other symptoms like pain or restricted or painful arm movements. I would prescribe ultrasonography examination than CT at this stage and depending on it decision on further examination would be made. Till then, relax and everything will be fine. Worry will only lead to stress and not will lead to any solution. Hope you find this useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
