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!

10 Points Best Answer! Benign Nods In Shoulder, With Pain Lasting More Than 3 Monthes, With Mri ? *?
Feb 23
I was in a 4 car pile up on June 2008 and received 2 impacts from the back and 2 from the front. I had several injuries which I have been able to heal from all but one. I still have some sort of injury to my neck and I’m sick of doctors telling me they don’t know what it is and passing me around like a hot potato. I have had 1 nerve block injection, 2 epidural injections and radio frequency ablation, taken several muscle relaxers and pain meds, along with nerve meds like gabapentin and lyrica. I have also gone to 2 physical therapy places and a chiropractor. I am currently seeing a pain management doctor (my 3rd one) I have had 2 MRIs of my neck, both came back normal. I’m at my wits end as to what to do next and the 13th doctor I have been to has just told me he doesn’t know what else to do. Here are my symptoms: severe headache all the time, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, dry mouth, seeing spots some of the time, left arm pain, left pinky going numb, sometimes my lips go numb, nausea, ringing in the ears, jaw pain; ice seems to help. I felt the pain right after the accident. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be or tests I should ask the doctor to do? Has anyone been in this situation before and can give some advice? Thanks!
