What Is The Cause Of A Bump On The Clavicle?

Hello. I have what feels like a hard bump on my clavicle slightly to the right of the notch. I have had sudden onset of excruciating pain in my right clavicle area, radiating up the right side of my neck to the jaw. It is painful to move my arm in any direction. Typing hurts if I move my hand too high. I thought the pain was due to my restarting exercise with 2 lb weights. Just had a grapefruit-size cyst removed from my liver, 09/18/12, so had to stop exercising for a few weeks.

No fever, no cough, no rash around chest or neck area. I do have a rash below my pannus (gastric bypass surgery one year ago, weight loss of 100+ lbs) and groin area. I can clearly feel the bump, so can my significant other, nothing on the left side.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. THank you.
