Hi! this is an uncommon clinical condition that you described as you feel that 'there was vein popping out...'!

Anyways, as per your further description, from my experience on the various needle biopsies in this region, I would like to consider few possibilities in this case of painful neck bump as follows:

1. BENIGN VASCULAR LESIONS LIKE CAROTID BODY TUMOR, HEMANGIOMS OR LYMPHANGIOMA

2. Benign soft tissue lesions like lipoma, dermatofibroma or neurofibroma

3. lymph nodes due to various reasons like oral/throat/ear infection, tuberculosis etc...

Therefore, you need to see a physician for a physical examination and if necessary USG/Needle biopsy if necessary!

regards,
