About three weeks ago, I noticed a hard, round, lump near the center of my chest where the clavicle meets the sternum. It's about 2cm+ in diameter, has a smooth surface, seems to be oval in shape (almost round like a circle), is painless, and is not moveable.
It's in an awkward position: half on the actual clavicle bone and half below it. It is very close to the center of my chest, but a little bit to the right. There is no similar lump anywhere else.
About a month ago, I noticed a pain there, but there was no lump there at the time.
Within the past three weeks, it has not grown nor shrunken.
My doctor checked it out and he's not too concerned about it. He thinks that it may be inflammation turned hard and painless. An x-ray revealed nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this may be?
