What Causes Lump On The Collar Bone?

I'm a 23 year old female Mother of 2. I have a swollen ( lump like) area on Right side Collarbone. It is accompanied by a very uncomfortable feeling of tightness and pain. I feel very fatigued. Mood swings. Anxiety. Easily agitated. Head aches. The back of my neck is also feeling similar but more of a stress provoked tightening and swollen, No hard lump. Just softness.
My collarbone does not feel like stress.
I'm not usually like this.
No injuries. I don't work out, just mommy duties.
What could be causing this?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Most possible cause could be brachial cleft cyst - which is from long time with out pain.
2.Then lymph nodal enlargement with any underlying medical conditions infections / inflammations.
3.And last infective cause with collection, pain on touch and radiating pain - had recent fever ( bacterial infection abscess / infective cystic collection)
4.Get an ultrasound lesion / lump to find out the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.
5.After that a course of antibiotics will help in infective causes, a small incision depending on the condition.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
