Swelling above collar bone

[Sydney]

I'd be interested to know report of Ultrasound and xray. ??? first rib subluxed up over the collarbone due to muscular tension?? is the "lump" hard or squishy? painful or bruised? mobile or stuck?....very interesting!!

I'll let you know when I get the results. The lump is kind of squishy i think but kind of solid! (that probably doesn't make sense!) It's not painful and I don't think it's bruised, how would you tell if it was? And I think it's stuck, I certainly can't move it anywhere!

Hi Sydney, how was your diagnosis?

I have a similar situation though I am unsure if it's the same thing.
I have told my GP about this and she said it's not the lymph node but seems unsure what it is. She however think it's not a lump as it is not hard so didnt recommend any furthe action.

I noticed it last year and who knows it has been swollen.

This is my description. It's swollen on both sides at the area where the neck and shoulders meet. It's not hard but it's firm. Because its swollen, there's deep lines on both sides of base of the neck.

I've been trying hard to find out if anyone has the same thing and came across your post which seems the most similar to my case.

Do let me know.

Hello!

Well I had an ultra sound scan and they said it was just a muscle! For some reason I have more muscle on one side than the other! Maybe it was caused by an injury or something but it's nothing serious in my case. But that may not be the case with other people who have similar symptoms.

Thanks for your reply.

I just found something that might be what I'm having. it's called Cushings.
