Could Swelling Above Collar Bones Related To Lymphatic System?
Just above my right collar bone, my neck is swelled. It has been swelled for some months, but now is larger and a bit tender. My neck muscles are also sore on that side. I also have a swelled area on the left side just above my collar bone. Could this condition be related to my lymphatic system?

Hi
Yes, it's possible to be lymphatic pooling,although there should be screening by MRI for stomach growths,mediastinal glands enlargement,.A CBC blood count,looking for liver,spleen enlargement and myelocytic series studies of blood cells,platelets additionally be explored..
An x ray chest would also be of help.
You may consult a physician.for complete evaluation,ccause finding.
If neighboring nodes enlargement, an FNAC biopsy may be done
Best wishes
