Hiya, I am writing for advice as have a lot of health anxiety. Around 6 weeks ago during a viral infection (lots of coughing etc) I happened to find a bony lump just below my collar bone on the left side. I wasn't in pain but have anxiety so went to GP who said was just a bone and nothing to worry about. However, following this I started to experience pain across my left chest around my shoulder and back. At times my chest is very tender to the point I can't lay a hot water bottle on it or when I go over speed bumps in the car it also aches. I would say it is more or an ache/tenderness than a pain. Went back to GP as was really worried and had chest x rays and bloods done which all came back clear. GP has said she isn't worried and thinks this is a muscular issue and to see physio. The pain now is intermittent and some days worse than others. Just don't know whether it's all in my head and I should seek help for my anxiety or whether to pay for more private scans to investigate further (although know these would stretch me financially.) Am awaiting a physio appointment from the GP surgery. The hard bone/lump is still there and just ache in front of my chest around shoulder area. Anyone experienced anything like this?
