What Causes Sudden Appearance Of The Lump On The Throat Causing Pain In The Arm?
My wife was dressing this morning when she felt something strange in her chest. A strange lump suddenly appeared on her right collar bone near her throat. It appeared in a matter of moments and for no apparent reason. It is sore to touch and she said it was also painful to lift her arm. the lump seems firm and does not move

HI.
This is indicative of bleeding either in the thyroid nodule which was not felt beforehand, or in a lymph node. Ultrasonography and a consultation with an ENT Specialist for clinical examination will give a proper diagnosis. The painful lifting of the arm may be due to inflammation spread to muscle/ nerves in the vicinity.
