Hi, 

I'm knew to this forum but would like a little advice please. 

9 weeks ago I found a lump in my neck on the right side near my collarbone, Dr did blood tests all OK but as the lump had gotten slighter bigger & wasn't going away she sent me for an ultrasound on the 2 week appointment scheme. 

I was worried as I have been really tired & the last week have been so itchy on the top half of my body. 

Both the Dr & consultant said it was a swollen lymph node & the scan would tell us more. 

I had the scan today & the person scanning has said there is no lump & it is my muscle & he doesn't know why it feels raised & it will never go away, he said it feels stringy & not like a lump & there's nothing sinister in my neck, he didn't see a lymph node. Obviously this was very good news for me but I'm a little confused as there is a definate lump the size of a grape behind my collarbone that sometimes can be seen sticking out (friends & family have felt it & said its quite large) ? It felt like he looked where the lump was & he checked my neck (lump isn't on my neck really) but he said i have a similar muscle when he checked the other side but there is no lump or raised anything that side?

Do I just accept that I'll have this lump forever? I've never heard of a muscle feeling like a swollen lymph node?

Thanks in advance
