Brief Answer:
Acid reflux disease can be the case.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Stomach burning and burping are quite characteristic symptoms of acid reflux problem. Due to too much stomach acid secretion and lack of proper barrier between stomach and esophagus, food and acid get back to esophagus. This causes esophagus irritation and inflammation.
Bump on your shoulder is most likely some other issue. It may be soft tissues benign lesion like lipoma or sebaceus cyst. Both are benign and do not turn into a cancer.

I suggest you to follow this steps:
- avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, coffee (very important), orange juices, chocolate, alcohol
- do not eat before sleeping
- start Omeprasole 20 mgs once a day
- have soft tissues ultrasound to diagnose the bump

If diet wont help, please consult gastrologist and consider gastroscopy.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Its a little under the right shoukder blade like in the center, it radiates to the middle and sides . Some pain here and there. I also get really warm in my hands and feet at night

Brief Answer:
Soft tissues ultrasound or spine MRI might be done.

Detailed Answer:
If its a palpable lump, soft tissues ultrasound should be done.
If you only have a feeling of a lump, your symptoms may be associated with spine disc problem. In such case, consult neurologist and consider spine MRI.
