Suggest Treatment For Headache And Painful Lump In The Neck For A 57-year-old

57 year old male. I work out about 3 times a week. I am high-strung and when I get up during the night I notice a dull headache and neck pain. Not during the day. I have a computer, desk job. During my massage today, I told her of the neck pain so she worked that area. The therapist said I had a lump in my neck. I can understand a stress knot but the word lump scared me. Thoughts?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

1. In this case first I would examine you, and locate the lesion.

2. After that, I would perform an ultrasound scan - cheap /non-invasive/ no radiation.

3. It will help to find out whether it's from your thyroid/lymph node / brachial cleft cyst/lymphocele.

4. Ultrasons will also helps to evaluate whether its operable or no - involvement of the neck vessels.

5. So you better make an appointment with your doctor and accelerate the process.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
