i have had shoulder pain for more than 3 monthes after a swimming injury. i have pain in my shoulder before (even when not swimming) but i didnt take it seriously but after the injury it hurt enough to see a doc. i got x-rays done, been having physical therapy twice a week for 3 monthes and seen a sports medicine physician. i got a mri but my doc said its normal but i requested a copy and it stated:
-benign nodes in shoulder
- fluid in bursa
i have cracking, unbearable pain (with a high pain tolerance), and im on anti-inflammatories, and taping on shoulder but no less pain.
i am also worried because i have found a lump on my collarbone about 6 monthes ago, and forgot about it. now in the shower the other day i felt it and its gotten wayyy bigger.
could the nodes in my shoulder be cancerous? is the lump bad? its on the same side of my injured shoulder so could it be causing pain?
also, im only 13 so how do i tell my parents about the lump,they may not believe me. 10 points!

Well the pain could be associated with the nodes aswell as the inflamation but if the report said you have benign nodes then NO it is NOT cancerous. That is what benign means. tell your parents you need to go to the family doc and tell him your problem. He will be able to decide the next best step and how to approach your folks. We’re not doctors, we can’t give your the precise answers to your questions but yes they are bad, it could be causing the pain, its not cancerous, tell you parents asap. if you are worried speak with you dr. he can tell them. Thats as REAL as its going to get with out another MRI. you know the answers to your questions…. they are common sense questions… which i believe you do have…

i think you have bursitis .May be precipitated by arthritis,infection,injury,or excessive or traumatic exercise or effort.
