Hello all
I noticed a month ago that I had a lump in the back of my right neck, just below my hair line and right next to top of my spine.c When I bend my neck forward it is quite noticeable and the muscle areas around it very swollen and when I turn my head back, if I push in I can feel it (its quite deep seated), it feels about 2cmx2cm. Pressing in to it i can feel like a clicky feeling. When I really tilt my head back I can't feel it.
There is no pain when I press on the actual lump but the area around is quite tender. I occasionally get shooting pains up the side of my right head
I am doing quite well at keeping calm about it and reminding myself it could be anything (I spend 3 hours a day on my commute to and from work where I am bent over looking at my phone or reading a book and have awful posture/a stressful job) . I occasionally pull muscles in my neck when I sleep too. I just can't believe that these could be able to produce such a big, hard lump. Could it be an enlarged lymph node? I used a lacrosse ball on it last night so area is super sore today.
Has anyone else experienced this?
