I also have had a stiff /sore neck and pain in lower spine for several months and an enlarged something
on the back left side of my neck, close to
spine, beneath hair line. More of a large mass than a lump, if that makes any sense. I went to Othropedic Dr to rule out a skeletel problem. He said that other than normal degenerative disease, neck and back look fine. A few days later, however, he called me up and is sending me for a chest Xray and CT Scan of chest.
