What does it mean to have selling by your collarbone and up chest. with weakness in the right arm and hand that had the swelling?

Possi.brachial plexu: The swelling you describe could be compressing the brachial plexus ( a bunch of nerves behind collar bone) causing weakness of your right arm and hand. See a neurologist quickly.
