Q: lumps around collar bone
asked by: Cuppycakes on October 5th, 2008

I'm an otherwise healthy active 21 year old female.

Recently however, I've noticed two lumps around my right front collar bone. Each one can move the slightest bit, and are visible to the eye when moved in front of the bone.

They don't hurt, but they have grown slightly in size since I located them about a week ago. There's no redness or swelling, and they're in no way sensitive to the touch, if anything, I can't really feel the small masses at all, and I'm really only aware of them, if I see them, or by regular movement, feel them against my bone.

I've had a decrease in appetite lately, and I've also been the least bit winded and tire easily.

Do I have a valid reason to visit my doctor, or am I blowing this out of proportion?

Where are the lumps located exactly, in front or above the collar bone?
Have you experienced fever, night sweats and weight loss, recently?

I have one above, and one below, directly at the center of my right collar bone. They were easy to move around, and feel at first, but now they're more stationary. They've gotten slightly bigger in size. I did have some blood work and an x-ray done. The blood work came back normal, but on the 27th I have an appointment scheduled with my doctor to discuss my x-ray...

I've had slight fevers the last few weeks, but they tend to go away. And I don't experience night sweats so much as I just feel I sweat a little bit more than normal.

I'm not super worried at this point because my blood work was good. Although, my blood pressure at the office last week was terribly high.

So, even if it is something horrible, I think it'll be treatable.

Did you get an explanation about your chest x-ray image?
