    Yes. Collarbones. Asymmetrical and full of pointy bone bumps. Always has been.

    Do you have one by the sternal end of the bone? Or have you mentioned any of those bumps to a doctor? This is probably a 2mm bump or there abouts

    I do notice that you have lymph node worries as well. If I can be of any assurance back then I have had swollen nodes now for nearly 14 years! Pretty sizeable ones too and no doctor has ever worried.

    Yes toward the end, and never pointed it out to a doc because it’s just been there forever . Thanks for letting me know about your lymph nodes! That does make me feel better too. Sounds like our brains should teach each other to not be afraid of these things

    Mine is right on the edge of the top part of the sternal end of my bone. Noticed it a while ago but didn't think about until recently when I thought it was growing or something.

    C'mon S88... You've been here long enough to know the responses you'll get If you're that concerned, see a specialist and let us know what they say. "Told Ya So Gang" on standby

    I was replying to Worrywart and her comment from few days ago. I know that things like bone cancer is rare in the biggest bones of the body and even rare in small bones like the clavicle and that benign tumours are vastly more common. But finding people with the same thing and talking to them does help to keep things calm

    It's still reassurance seeking and does nothing to help you get on the path to recovery.

    I've been touching it a lot and I fear it's growing bigger. I was doing OK yesterday in not touching but today I had a blip.

    You really need to go several days to a week without touching it. If it is slowly growing (highly highly unlikely), how are you ever going to know if you touch it every day? Once you've gone a week and realize it isn't growing then you can move on with your life.

    Not a doctor or a psychologist, just a guy who's been to a lot of them.

    I try. You'd be surprised though at just how many times over the day you actually touch yourself around that area without really thinking about it. Like today I felt it for the first time this morning when I was adjusting my shirt. In a certain light too I can see a lump through my skin.
    I have for years had terrible posture and I'm hoping this is down to that, sometimes in bed I'm often on my left side, kinda arched, while playing on the laptop which is on a little bedside desk next to my bed.
