How To Cure A Small Lump Between Deltoid Muscle And Neck?

My son fell during a basketball game on his left shoulder. He now has a lump between his deletoid muscle and his neck. It s about a fifty cent piece in size. His arm was flat to his body when be fell. We took him for an xray but won t have the results until tomorrow. It only causes him pain if he reaches across his body or behind his back. Was just curious and nervous about the results.Thanks,Jim K

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
see, probably the pain is due to some muscle sprain. but nothing can be confirmed before seeing the patient as well as the xray results. but still, considering that there is not much pain, it is probably a minor injury. for now, do the following-

take ibuprofen 200 tablets twice a day
ranitidine 150 tablets once a day
apply ice locally twice a day
avoid much movements for 3-4 days


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
