What Causes Shoulder Pain Along With Swollen Lymph Nodes?

I have a R supraclavicular lymph node that is palpable - about 2cm. It is movable and not hard. My blood tests came back normal (but for some anemia- level 12). The front sholder is also sore - mostly the clavical, itself. I have no fever and no enlarged lymph in my breasts or armpits. I am scheduled for ultrasound & x-ray - in a few days. What could be causing the sholder pain & enlarged lympt if I have no fever & normal blood tests?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Lymph nodes increase in size due to any infectious or inflammatory process.

Inflammation can occur from injury, infection, allergy or malignant process.

The absence of fever makes infection unlikely, plus the white cell count would have been increased (if infection present) when the full blood count was done.

The imaging would be able to look for any lesion that may be present.

I hope this helps
