Hey all
Have notice a lump on my left shoulder 4 months ago. I stopped pinning both shoulders and rotated btwn quads and glute and have no issues yet. However, my right shoulder the lump went down after 2 months and looks normal, My left shoulder however did not!
I went to my doctor, was sent for an Ultra sound, results came back, he suggested its a Hematoma and that I should wait 6 weeks and see if the body absorbs it. After 8 weeks the lump is still there, not as hard but still noticable. Went back and he reffered to a Dermatologist / Surgeon. I have been research crazy and I am not sure what this could be (Sterile abcess/ cyst).
I saw an old friend that use to compete at my old gym and he told me that he got couple of these during his time and he drained it himself. (not something i would do myself) but some good news that atleast surgery is not needed.
If anyone else has experienced this, let me know. I am going nutsss not being able to wear my Tanks.
 
How about a pic?

I don't have a picture right now, Its a soft lump under my skin. It was really hard a couple of months ago (stopped injecting delts) and it softened up but its still noticeably there, there is no discoloration of skin, it was never sore/ red or hot so it wasn't infected at all. I have continued training as normal routine, but it just looks weird on my shoulder. its less noticeable when Im not pumped, but when im at the gym and I get a good pump going, i guess the skin tightens and it shows more. Any input?
Could it be Sterile abcess? (its been there for atleast 3 months I would say) does sterile abcess stay that long?
Is it possible its a cyst?
