What Causes Knot On Right Side Of Spine, Headache, Tension Muscle Aches?
I am a 26 yo f, no significant health problems.
I have a quarter sized hard, but not raised knot on the right side of my spine, where my neck and skull meet (hair line). It is hard and not moveable. I have had this knot since I was a teenager. I have a lot of headaches and tension muscle aches. What could this be?

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
The knot on this region could be related to a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma.
In my opinion it is not related to the headaches.
Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam and a tissue ultrasound, in order to clarify its nature.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
