He hasn’t not seen a doctor – and absolutely refuses to. He believes it’s a hairline fracture. He did it when he crashed his motorcycle 2 weeks ago. Now there’s a large-ish bump on top of his shoulder that is hard and a little larger than a quarter around and stands off his shoulder noticeably high. I can still not convince him to see a doctor to get an x-ray. Any suggestions what this bump might be?
Also, he has a full range of motion in his arm and shoulder, and is only in a slight amount of pain.

when a bone is broken the bodys normal reaction is too form calcium to heal the broken area. the body naturally forms extra calcium in this area to give it more strength to prevent further breaks. this is usually not seen as early as two weeks after the injury but it is possible. if he refuses to have it evaluated then i wouldn’t worry about it. with minimal pain to the site, it sounds like its healing fine. i would definately discourage any motorcycle riding for awhile though to prevent further injury.
