Doctor is not sure what it is running more blood work. He wants me to see my orthopedic. There is a pulling pain from the collar bone down. It feels as though it is on fire.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A swelling arising from the collar bone is most likely due to bone growth.
Bone growth can be due to benign or malignant bone tumor.
A X-ray of the neck is required to assess the bony swelling.
In case the swelling is arising from the collar bone, a biopsy may be required to know the exact nature of the lesion and thus plan further management.
Thanks and take care
