lump

Avatar n tn i have a swelling on the left side of my neck just above my collarbone. It seems to get bigger during the day, as when i wake it is not there really. It is painless. I take thyroxine 75mg as i have been diagnosed with underative thyroid. Is this lump due to this? i thought a goitre would be central on the neck?
Avatar n tn The AACE recommends to do the thyroid neck check in this case: Hold the mirror so that you can see the area of your neck just below the Adam's apple and right above the collarbone. This is the general location of your thyroid gland. Tip your head back, while keeping this view of your neck and thyroid area in your mirror. Take a drink of water and swallow. As you swallow, look at your neck.
Avatar f tn Hi, went to doc's today about lump on neck just above collar bone and another higher up on other side of neck. Had these for a couple of months and apparently have more smaller lumps that I hadn't noticed. Doc thinks all ok and nothing sinister but feeling a bit worried anyway.
Avatar f tn I have a dull pain with heat from my breast chest and back of my shoulder straight across from my breast to back. It gets worst and then it gets better. Above my collarbone is very sensitive. When I massage it the dull uncomfortable pain gets better. I also have a lump on my neck that connects to the spot above the collarbone. I have gone to the Dr.s but she said I have fibrosis. Something about muscles. Can anyone help... Please I dont know what to do...
Avatar f tn Tuberculosis can result in very large nodes, without there being cancer. Also, an affected node being above the collarbone and also in the neck can be consistent with tuberculosis. Yet you don't have the typical coughing, but then again coughing isn't necessary in every case of tuberculosis. So the speculation can go round and round until a biopsy is done wherein a node is removed and examined. An ultrasound has the possibility of maybe giving peace of mind quicker.
Avatar f tn For the last few months (could have been longer) I have the soft rubbery lump on my collarbone, the only time it changes in size or hurts is when I touch it all day while im having my Panic moments. But after leaving it alone for a few days it goes back to its regular size of about a marble. I'm seeing my obgyn next week, But I'm freaking out just thinking about asking her about it. I'm a 28 year old female that smokes, and I have endometriosis.
Avatar f tn I have a weird lump that i noticed this morning just above my collarbone, does anyone know what this might be??
Avatar m tn t grown, but I have since noticed that when I press on the muscles to either side of the lump, those muscles are unbelievably tense, and that tension is contributing to chronic pain in the muscles on the right side of my neck and shoulders. In addition, I often have numbness in the first three fingers of my right hand, soreness in my right forearm and bicep, and soreness in my right hip. These may all be unrelated, but my left side is not bothered by the same type of pain.
Avatar n tn No relief what so ever, but my concern is that my collarbone feels swollen with a lump like feeling at the end of it. The lump just showed up in the midst of all this pain, and I am concerned.
450237 tn?1255517992 As Katarina advised, you definitely shopuld be checked out, but in my view, more in regard to the "small swellings" near your collarbone and neck, the hard groin lump, and the sores on you chest, shoulders, back and arms! Best wishes...
Avatar m tn My second question and equally important is in regards to the nature of cancer lump. Now if I decided to wait before i could see a doctor in the city and the lump goes away, will it still be consider a cancer treat or not? In other words, doctor, does cancer lump goes away after ew days or does it stay longer and gets bigger? will be a lunmp that gets smaller and goes away consider a canncer treat or not?
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm a 24 yo, normally healthy male, non smoker, not a big drinker. Over five weeks ago, I came down with what I think was (and what was diagnosed as) tonsillitis. I was given antibiotics. Had usual symptoms of very sore throat, white covered tonsils, fatigue, mild fever/chills for a day or two.
Avatar n tn However i was poking around and right where the front right of my neck connects with my collarbone, there seems to be a small lump that feels a little firmer and jiggly. Around 3 days ago i felt a little bump the right side of my windpipe that is a little painful if pushed. My neck also feels a little stiff. I was just wondering what a lymph node in the collarbone should feel or look like to be considered enlarged and/or a sign of cancer. Please help me i'm really freaking out.
Avatar n tn A branchial cleft cyst is a lump that develops in the neck or just below the collar bone.,it is a type of birth defect,they form during development of the embryo.they occur when tissues in the neck and collarbone fail to develop normally .Most require no treatment except possible anti biotics if infected ,if surgery is required results are good... here is a link with information health.nytimes.
Avatar m tn For the last year my neck as been swollen. It started to affect my job... anxiety attacks, not feeling well. I've had ultrasounds, ct scans, mri and bloodwork. The doctors have found a nodule on either side of my thyroid and minor bulging cervical spine discs. I have seen my doctor numerous times, an ent and now I'm going to see an endocrinologist. I've have had all of these tests done and my neck is swollen above the collarbone on both sides...
192055 tn?1263555537 When he first cut me open, the doc found the muscle just floating around (The muscle that held my joint together. He drilled a hole in my collarbone...took one of my neck muscles and wrapped it around my collarbone and rib to hold it in place, to make my SC joint a stable joint. The surgery went well- as in it IS a stable joint.... ALTHOUGH I am having some complications. I have to go back to the doctor to get some xrays and mri's done... I have some clicking in my SC joint.
Avatar f tn There are some infections that can be in the lungs and make a node above the right collarbone get larger. Have you seen any news accounts of tuberculosis outbreaks where you live? There's also a mystery type of immune response in the lungs and elsewhere called sarcoidosis. That also would show up on an MRI of the lungs. There could be other causes, too.
Avatar f tn I have a few swollen lymph nodes on my neck and one right above my left collarbone. I have had one swollen node on my neck for years. I had it checked out by a doctor a few years ago and he said he wasn't concerned because of the size. He didn't check my blood or run any tests. I didn't question him. For the past few weeks I have felt unwell.
Avatar f tn Than one day I noticed an irregular mole (or so I thought) on my cheek which started really freaking me out. Coincidentally we had just started a unit on cancer in my science class and I started feeling a lump in my throat kind of feeling. I started spiralling out of control with this thinking I had some type of throat cancer. I had anxiety attacks but I thought that they were caused by a tumour in my brain.
Avatar m tn I have developed a lump on the left side of my adams apple, even with it (not above or below). The lump is solid and i can move it a little bit. My throat is not sore, doesnt hurt when i swallow, doesnt hurt if I touch around it, only if I touch the lump. Then it hurts very much. I developed this same lump about 6 months ago and the doctor dismissed it as stress/job related. It did go away a few days later. Any ideas as to what causes this or what it could be?
Avatar f tn On that side of the neck, I have one or two smaller lumps on the neck lymph gland and one large swelling on the lymph on my neck just above the collarbone where the tv hit the hardest. Is it possible that it was caused by the fall? I didn't have any swelling before the fall.
Avatar f tn The doctor put me on birth control and I am still taking them. On October 2008, I had a small lump in my left breast and it was painful to touch. I had an ultrasound done but they could not see it with ultrasound; however, they could feel it with touch. So, they informed me that my breast is normal and it could be from high caffeine intake. Now, another small lump is felt next to it and the whole breast is painful including the nipple. The pain sometimes is like stabbing pain or burning pain.

Avatar f tn ve never had any biopsied or fine needled because the lymph nodes look reactive/normal. however, i feel a small lymph node on the left side just above my collarbone, and i feel like the entire left side of my neck is lumpy. i did have a stomach virus a couple of weeks ago, and my kids have had strep. should i just relax and wait a couple of weeks to see they go down? maybe i'm being a hypochondriac, which i can be at times. but what's normal?
