Avatar n tn Hi, 23 y/o female........I have a question regarding a lump in my neck muscle. It has been there for about a year and I dont think it has grown any larger. It seems to be located deep to the sternomastoid muscle just under the mastoid process of the skull. My doctor said it felt like a trigger point...however it does not hurt at all and feels like it is almost inside or attached to the muscle.

Avatar m tn I am worried about a lump which I have noticed on the back of my neck. It is right in the centre of the back neck and ends about 1/2cm before my hairline. It is more noticable when I lean my head forward or lay down. I cannot notice it if my neck is in a normal, standing position.The lump is slightly closer to my head than my back. It is solid, it almost feels like bone. It does hurt slightly when I poke at it.
611254 tn?1223914841 My concern is that my symptoms are extreme fatigue, itchy neck, face and ear canals, I feel like I have (sorry)phlegm stuck in my throat but most troubling is a hard lump on the side of my neck. It is about the size of a large marble. It is painless, immobile and hard. I have a constant 'kink' in my neck and the pain is getting worse. I feel as though I'm pulling my neck when i turn it sometimes.
Avatar m tn non movable lump under my skin seems to be attached to underlying tissue or muscle.. the lump itself does hurt to the touch and i feel a general discomfort in my lower back if im standing too long.. my mother felt the lump and she said its a tension knot or pulled muscle .. i am so worried about it being cancer. im 21 male and in good health .. but i havent felt myself in weeks.. im so worried.. can this all be just anxiety? please help.. i need to ease my mind somehow.. the lump is there..
Avatar n tn I've had a sort of lump on the back left side of my neck for about 2 years now. It's not very big, and it's situated in between the back of neck and the side of my neck kind of where the hairline begins. It has not grown in the two years since i've noticed it, it isn't sore to touch or painful whatsoever. As well, I can only feel it at certain angles and i really have to push into my skin to feel it, it feels hard like it could be a bone or a muscle or somthing.
Avatar n tn A few weeks ago I found a hard mass/lump in my lower back on the left side and a smaller lump on the right side. It has been causing pain relating to lower back pain (stiffness, pain "slouching", pain straightening my back). This lump seems to feel approx. 1 - 1.5 inches on the left and a .5 inch on the right. On a side note, the past few weeks (starting a 2 weeks before noticing this back lump) I have had a sore area in my throat (not a sore throat!
Avatar n tn No, a reactive mass is in reaction to something--in your case the immunization shot. The antigen in the shot starts a chain of reaction through which antibodies against that particular infection is formed in your body. This also starts a local inflammatory process. This process can form a lump that does not get absorbed back into the system. The lump is harmless. And yes, it can persist for 2 odd years and may be more.
Avatar n tn Hi im 19 and experiencing the same thing in between my neck and shoulder area. The lump feels like ball.. I can feel its spherical shape and can move it around. Ita not painful, but if anything comes in contact, i can feel some pain. What is it?
Avatar f tn I'm a 16 year old female. I have what feels to be a 3 in. lump under the muscle of the right side of my neck that's been present for 2 years. It's in the middle of the side of my neck and slowly growing to the front of my neck. Doctors did an ultrasound plus blood work and saw nothing abnormal and said it's just me growing. There's no pain but it's uncomfortable and causes pressure on the inside my neck. Do you think it is from growing or something else?
Avatar f tn The lump is inside the muscle in the back of my neck so you kinda have to dig in to touch it. It doesnt cause pain by itself so if i hadnt that pinching pain i wouldnt probably realised its existance but its nature (hard and immovable) causes me a lot of stress if it is sth more malignant. Recently i have done normal blood tests and for stds and everything came out normal. Could it be lymphoma or an other form of cancer?
Avatar m tn I went back into dentist and they tried to drain the hard ping pong sized lump in my lower right cheek. I left feeling less pain, but more swelling and bigger lump/more hard. I started new anitbiotic Clinamycin for 3 days and began getting sore throat, swollen neck, larger lump. I went to my doctor since my dentist was on call and instructed me to. The doctor gave me a shot of rocephan and sent me to an oral surgeon the same day. They lanced the site but nothing drained.
Avatar m tn s not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch. It isn't massive and certainly not noticeable as you have to actually touch my neck to feel it and there is a size difference between my right and left sides of my neck in terms of swelling.
Avatar m tn About 6 months ago I felt a small lump in the left side of my neck, I believe it is located by or is the Suboccipital lymph node. It's no bigger then 1cm and you can ALMOST not feel it when touching from the outside, but definitely is there and feels very uncomfortable for me as I can most definitely feel it inside the neck muscle.
Avatar n tn In most cases, a lump that moves is better news than a hard, stationary lump. However, it wouldn't hurt to have an ultrasound just to be sure, so ask your doctor to order one. If he refuses, ask him to refer you to someone else. Good luck to you!
Avatar f tn Hi, hoping to get some insight here, because I'm really afraid. It all started about three months ago with a feeling of a lump in my throat. Not an actual lump, but the feeling of one, right below where my adam's apple would be (I'm female though). I'd feel it on and off through the day, sometimes not so bad, and sometimes very noticeable. When I eat or drink anything it gets better though, the feeling of the lump goes away.
Avatar m tn I had acdf surgery on March 4 and I have a hard lump at the incision site. My pcp sent me for an ultrasound to check for an absess but there was none. Does anyone know if this normal?
Avatar f tn Now the other day I found a hard small fixed lump on my mastoid muscle behind my right ear but I am not sure if I have had this always or if it just arised. I have been having slight ear pain for about a month now in my right ear and I went to an ENT and he said it was from allergies. Now after finding this lump I'm so scared it could be causing my pain and that it could be something serious. I would appreciate any advice or if someone has had this before let me know.
Avatar f tn You probably should see an ear nose and throat doctor if you can go straight to one. They can feel it and decide the next course of action. I had a lump in my throat that was hard and they thought it was a tumor but it was a muscle knot. But I have myofascial pain syndrome. So they did a CT scan on me. They may also want to rule out acoustic neuroma due to your symptoms. Any dizziness or vertigo? They also have to rule out a tumor. So they will probably do what they did to me and do a CT scan.
Avatar m tn Fast forward to about a month ago (two months after I found the bumps by my elbows), I was laying down on my couch at home and was rubbing the area about halfway between my shoulder and neck and I came across a very hard lump that almost seems to be sitting on top of my trapezius muscle, or whatever the muscle is called between the neck and shoulder. Again, upon further self-examination, I feel the same very hard lump in what seems the same exact spot on the opposite shoulder area.
