What Cause Lump Under The Left Clavicle And Right Shin?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi, I am 40 yrs old and have SLE..on azathiaprine and steroids for 7 years now. I have a hard non painful lump under my lf clavicle and rib below is visibly more pronounced unlike other side. I have noticed this for 6 weeks now. 2 Gps told me there are no lymph nodes under clavicle. What about apical ? This side is obviously more inflammed alough not changing and non painful. I also have lump rt shin for 8 weeks. My gps dont understand lupus so no point going and cant afford to see my specialist for a while. I have had night sweats off and on for a few months, not sure whats going on ?

Hello hope the answer helps you.As you discussed your histroyon steroids and azathioprine for 7yrs for SLE. And now you ar having non painful infraclavicular and other area lump with night sweats I guess you noticed evening fever spike or not and fatigue with it.My suggestion is as you are on long term steroids for autoimmune disease these lumps could be any benign swellings like rheumatoid skin nodules as do in SLE sometimes or neurofibroma type lesion till proven.But one thing with night sweats you ask your GP to for tuberculosis work up as could be skin T.B or TB lymphadenopathy,like chest xray and ESR and if cough for sputum AFB.No worries madam/sir as once diagnosed all is treatable.
