Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Cavicle

My husband has a sudden onset, painful, lump on the right side of his clavicle. He had an x-Ray and the doctor thought it was arthritis. He is a smoker x 30 years. Should he get a second opinion or take doctor s advice and wait to see if it goes down?
