Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2008friend with bony knot on shoulder
Dear Friends, I have a friend with OA. During Friday night, a hard lump almost completely round of about one inch in diameter came up on her shoulder. It is about where the collar bone attaches the shoulder. It hurts! She called her doctor today and can't get in for two weeks! (Yikes! I wouldn't put with that but she has no alternative.) She regularly sees a rhemy. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Vickie B. Vickie, Your friend really needs to get this situation checked out. I had a friend who developed something similar, and never got it checked out until a year or so later. Turned out that the knot was because she had broken her collar bone without even realizing it and it healed in a strange position that basically left her with the knot for ever because the doctors would have otherwise had to take her to surgery and rebreak everything! Can she at least perhaps get her doctor to order an x-ray to be done so that they will have that information when she finally does get in to see her doctor? Best wishes!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. I would be worried this person broke the collar bone from the sounds of it. Praying all works out for your friend.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > Dear Friends, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Vickie B. |
