I have an egg sized squishy lump where my neck meets my left collar bone. It doesnt hurt. Ive put a lot of weight on recently (56lb in a year!) Mainly down to a complete change of lifestyle. I dont smoke but am a considerable drinker, between 10 and 15 units a day most days of the week. Ive history of cervical smear problems, though i have been clear for over 6 years. I also have polycystic kidneys. I had a similar feeling sort of lump behind my knee once which my doctor called a bakers cyst, is this the same sort of thing? thanks.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. You need to get this examined and X-rayed to rule out any serious etiology. Bursitis /Bakers Cyst usually arises in joints which are used regularly. The lump may be a lipoma/collection of fatty tissue, a sebaceous cyst, or a benign soft tissue tumor. Getting this investigated will help clear any doubts.
