What Does A Fatty Tissue Under The Collar Bone Indicate?

I have fatty tissue under my collar bone and between. It hurts when cold and when I bend down. I am to have thyroid surgery this Wednesday because they found Hurthle cells, which they said may be cancerous, but don t think they understand that I am having difficulty by my collar bone. I have told them, but they seem more concerned about my tyroid. I don t want to have to be opened up and not have it checked also.

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of enlarged lymph node or lipoma

As per your symptoms and history it can be lymph node enlargement may be due to infection or chronic disease.
As swelling is not reducing I will advise you to further investigate for the cause of swelling.
You may need blood investigation
Lymphangiography may help.
