What Does A Lump On The Collarbone Indicate?

Hi, I have booked an appointment with my doctor but I have a lump which feels like bone below my collarbone. I had pain across collarbone, which I thought was a pulled muscle. I placed a heat pad on it and the pain is gone but the lump is still there?? Really worried please help

Hi.
This is the most unusual site of development of a lump.
Do you have a history of fall or pulled upper limb. There can be a small fracture of clavicle giving a hematoma which appears hard as you have noticed.
Well an X-ray would help as is the clinical examination by a Doctor.
I find this answer helpful
