Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I always have knots on my neck and I have to massage them very hard with my thumb or lean on a hard surface to try to get them out as I push hard up against I can hear my neck cracking and and if I don t try to get the knots out they sometimes travel to my head then I have to massage my head as well its painful I hate it I have had this problem for about 6 yrs now. What can it be?
Are your knots increasing in size? Do they cause pain?
In order to know what they can be, it would be good to an ultrasound done of the neck to understand the nature and consistency of the knot and also a FNA or biopsy of the knot can be done, which is nothing but a sample is taken and visualized under the microscope to be certain about the nature of this knot.
However to be shown to a clinician to assess it and decide the investigations which I have suggested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
