Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen and painful collar bone. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fracture or injury, acromioclavicular ligament tear or wrong movement of arm or shoulder. The lump could be a lipoma, cyst or Osceola. I would suggest you to take proper rest and do not move arm or shoulder much, apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or physical examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory or recommend physical therapy or surgical removal of lump. Physical therapy will help a lot. Doctor may also immobilize your joint for some days. Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist for lump. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
