Lump mass on collar bone

I have a lump mass on my left collar bone.  It is about the size of a half dollar and it is not painful.  I had noticed it 8 months ago.    For sometime I've had other unusual symtoms (symptoms) like fatigue, bone and joint pain.  Flu like symtoms (symptoms) that come and go.   I have not seen a doctor yet because I have no insurance.  I just tell myself hopefully its nothing to be worried about.

Hi.  That lump near your left collar one may be an inflamed lymph node from a lingering infection (flu-like symptoms, fatigue, bone and joint pain).  However, you do need to see a doctor to make sure it isn't anything serious. If your symptoms have persisted or have been recurrent over the past eight months, I really think you should be seen by a doctor.
