    Yes it could be a lymph node, but then it could be something else. The only way you're going to find out is to go to your doctor and let him/her have a look at it. Don't start worrying just yet it may nothing at all.

      He said i need to wait a week or so and see if it goes down.. I actually have an ultrasound on monday for my neck lump but i dont think theyll do it for the shoulder one as ive not been referred for that

      Hi. Glad you're feeling better. All I would say is that if it's still there in a couple of weeks go back to your doctor as swollen lymph glands are a sign of infection somewhere in the body so needs looking into. Good luck.
