Hello I have had a bulge,lump like very soft near my clavicle bone for the past year. I had an mri and ultrasound and was told all ok just to keep an eye on it. Well it is still here and only gets hard as I do some types of movements with my arm. I was thinking seeing I am a teller and am constantly using my arm to open and close my cash draw with keys, could this be the problem? And can a decayed tooth also cause this problem. I am 59 years old.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think you need to get MRI of the neck and FNAC to know about diagnosis of this problem. Most probably it is inflammatory lymph node enlargement. Sometimes it can be a tumor also. FNAC is a needle test and there is no need to anesthesia, but it gives exact result. If there is cervical lymph node enlargement then taking antibiotics will be helpful for you. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
