Hi, as you describe it appears to be a ganglion, a projection from the shoulder joint or some other joint. as it grows it starts paining or discomfort.
lipoma will never cause pain or discomfort.
It can be diagnised only by palpation, and examination. So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to get it excised. Thank you.
