Ganglion?.

Has anyone ever found a small very hard lump on their shoulder near the clavicle? My doctor has diagnosed a ganglion but I am still concerned! It seems to be a strange place to get a ganglion as they are usually found on fingers or wrists.

Could it be a swollen lymph node? I don't believe ganglions grow along the collarbone.

It's fairly common I had one myself but it seems to have disappeared now.

Can I ask you if the ganglion was on your shoulder? It is where my bra strap is!

Exactly it was on my right shoulder. More to the front than right on the top.
