A knot popped up on the back right side of my neck about a year ago and stayed for a couple weeks then went away. Now its back in the same exact spot just a bit bigger. Its not real hard, its kind of squishy, hurts when I turn my neck a certain way and hurts to touch it. I havent done anything to strain it or anything and I m kind of worried. I ve been looking online and most of what I see about lumps and knots on the neck is cancer. I ve already had cervical cancer and when I was younger I had thyroid problems but I took the medication and everything was fine. Now this has randomly popped back up and I dont have the money for a doctor to tell me its nothing but like I said I m very concerned. Any information you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, feel free to ask me any questions... I m very worried about this because alot of people in my family have suffered cancer and I have already been through the problems of cervical cancer. I would like to know what it is so I can determine whether or not I should see a doctor or what to do.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your cancer and thyroid problems has no relation with lump.  You may have some enlarged lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia or tuberculosis.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump.  Then you should take treatment according to your diagnosis. Don't worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
