Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to her about this stiff neck resulting from lumps on both sides. These lumps most likely represent swollen lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes can represent and infection or a more concerning disease state like cancers, tuberculosis, infiltrative disease, etc. Seen the longstanding nature of these lumps, you need to be consulted and managed accordingly for this possible disease. Also, if nothing is done, they can continue and prevent you from eating freely or breathing easily. It would be best to consult your primary care doctor!

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
