What Causes Puffiness And Soreness In Neck?

There is a puffiness in my neck on the right side which is slightly sore to the touch and also some discomfort in the back of my neck. Could this be gland problems, pulled muscles, or something else. I do have a thyroid problem and take medication daily for this. I had a goiter removed several years ago. It feels like a pulled muscle to me, what do you think?
