I'm Worried - is this a Forteo Side Effect

I noticed a lump on the front of my shoulder bone last night although it could have been there for awhile.I already had a scheduled doctor's app't today and showed it to the doctor. The doctor isn't sure what it is but says it's on my clavicle possible where there is a joint (front of the middle of my body, not out by my arms) and it's partially soft and partially hard. This is the first time I've seen it. Could this be bone cancer from the Forteo? I will be getting an xray to start with. Has anyone else heard of any bone growths (besides normal) while using Forteo? This makes me nervous.

Hi,

It's not a fibroma, is it? I'm sure your doc would know if it was this. I have something similar near my shoulder joint (soft and hard and growing) but it is definitely a benign fibroma. Good that you are checking it out.

And, Peregrine, you are NOT on Forteo, are you? You are going strictly the natural route I believe. And doing pretty good?

Taape, I am hoping with you that this is nothing. My husband is on a number of medications and developed a lump in his breast from one. It turned out to be nothing and it ultimately went away. Please keep us posted.
