Re: lump on back of neck – Naturopathic Medicine Network

I found a lump on the back of my neck on the left side just above my my hairline aprox. 1/2 way between my ear and the middle of my neck. Its not rock hard but not really soft either, it is not moveable. I noticed it aprox. 2 weeks ago. I went to the Dr. I was told it was a knot in the muscle…I dont know if that is really what it is or not, I havent injured myself lately.?? I went to another Dr. he said it could be a knot in the muscle or a swollen gland from an infection, but i havent had any infection???? I notice ive had a sore throat and it seems on the left side around my tonsil, do you think it could be the reason for the lump. It isnt really painful, the lump itself but it is making me feel pressure in my left Jaw and ear and i feel slightly dizzy.. Anyone else with theese symptoms, please let me know and if i find out anything i will let everyone know. Thank you, Tammy
