What Causes Feeling Of Having Lump On The Spine?

I ve noticed at the top back of my neck, I feel a hard knot or lump on the spine. It feels like a bone. I m wondering if it s my c1 or c2 on the vertabrae? Can you feel the top bone of your vertabrae. I m concerned and worried at an extreme it s a tumor.
