What Causes Pain With Hard Lump On The Shoulderr?
6 days ago I had severe pain and a hard, painful bump on top of left shoulder. 3 days later, the pain became agonizing and spread between my shoulder blades and through into my chest. Saw GP who said take pain relief & anti-inflammatories and rest. Its now a lot better, but the hard bump is still there - can you please explain what this might be?
Many thanks

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
