What Could Be The Painless Moving Lump On The Back Of Neck?

I have a small lump on the back of the right side of my neck. it's not painful, but the right side of my neck is stiff. it feels as if the bump is on a tendon and it moves when I turn or stretch my neck different ways. I noticed the bump after I had been carrying a lot of weight in a bag on my right shoulder several days in a row. do you know what it could possibly be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most of the benign lump.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
