Definitely worth checking out with a doctor (or two). My mom had something similar and it was a harmless fatty cyst; mine was thyroid cancer! Best way to stop worrying about the "what if's" is to pursue an authoritative answer.

Lump On My Collar Bone Is Growing !!!!
Posted: 09-01-07 10:24am

Hi there to all:

I would say about 6 months ago I started getting pain in my right arm right down to my hand and the pain would also travel up the right side of my neck right up to the ride side of my face up to the area of my right ear. The pain would be there all the time worse at times when I would be doing stuff that would put lots of pressure on my right side. Well now about 4 weeks ago now I found a lump on my right collar bone in the center. I went to the Dr's he sent me for a x-ray then the next dr sent me for ultra sound and then for a CT scan. Then after those results I was sent for a bone scan. All along they were telling me that there is something there that should not be there but they just could not tell me that it was or wasn't the big "C" thing but I would read my medical reports and on the reports they sure were leaning towards the big "C" thing. Well I have to tell all that this past Wednesday I saw the orthopedic surgeon and he looks over all my reports and he looks at all my scans and he is telling me that he is very worried and it is not good that I am hurting where I am hurting now he wants me to have a MRI to get a better look at my lump. I have to say this waiting game is so hard. I will tell you all if you ever find a lump anywhere on your body and you know it should not be there do not ignore it please go to the dr's and check it out. Look where I am now I thought it was noting and now look where i am the dr's are afraid it is the big "c". Has anyone else out there going through what I am going through?

hi.
about 3-4 weeks ago I found a lump behind my ear.
It doesn't hurt but it's immobile and feels like it could be a part of my skul (but it's obviously not).
And my stomach seems to be bloated. Like, if someone looked at me they wouldn't think i looked "Fat" or whatever but for me i'm definaltly bigger. Prenantish looking? But i'm 15 so don't even go on asking me if i'm pregnant. Neutral
But anyways, a few months before I was having major problems with my legs, mostly when I slept. Like one would swell and they'd hurt. I don't know if that had anything to do with anything but i figured I'd tell you.
I don't have night sweats and I don't think i have a temp (our themometor is broken I think).
my mom won't take me to the doctor unless it's like acheck up which, those are in august. She never thinks anything is wrong.
i'm worried. help?

Lump above collarbone
Posted: 03-31-08 18:35pm

I have a 12 yr old daughter who has a small pea size lump on her r clavicle closer to the sternam ares. She also has a couple pea sized nodes which we can feel under the back of the chin area. nothing hurts, we did the xray, and the ultrasound, they said it was the nodes, they thought it was just a cyst. it is fluid filled, soft and dosent hurt, she is very active in gymnastics and not sick in any way, I am of corse very scared. Does any one have any advise.??? thank you in advance.

I'm almost 22 and I've had two bumps, one above the other and very close together, for about five years now. I had another one before that which was further up into my hairline which, after months had passed and it hadn't gone away, I went to the doctor about. I had a blood test and it came up clear. That bump took a looong time to go away, months and months from what I remember. When the new bumps came up (it was one at first and then two) I thought it was probably the same thing again so I didn't go to the doctor. After I'd had them a long time I assumed that if it were serious I'd have shown other symptoms by now. I haven't noticed any change for years. I recently became worried again because I did a google search on it and have read about some of the things it could be. I'm a paranoid person when it comes to my health. I am going to go to the doctor next week but I wanted to ask about it anyway.

The bumps aren't really hard or soft. Sometimes they seem to move a bit, usually when I'm lying down I think, but right now as I'm sitting up they don't. I have to turn my head to the side to feel them properly. The smaller one is probably the width of the tip of my finger and the bigger is probably about the width of two fingertips. They don't move when I swallow and they're not visible.
