Hi, I have something under the skin in my neck (does not feel like a lump, more like a muscle/tendon/joint or something like that). It is not visible, and only hurts when I consistently apply pressure to it. I am only 20 yrs old, female. I don t feel it on the other side. I think my body is fighting off sickness as well, I threw up earlier and I slept for almost 16 hrs. Any ideas?
Hi did you threw up earlier on pressing the swelling under your skin? And slept for 16 hrs after that of there was some other reason(like excessive exhaustion) for your prolonged sleep? In case these incidents happened after pressing on the swelling then go for MRI Neck to diagnose the swelling, Else wait for sometime without putting pressure on the swelling to see its development.
