What Is The Treatment For Pea Sized Lump On The Back Of The Neck?

I have had wiplash & TMJ. I always suffer with a sore, stiff neck with knots. Just the other day I noticed a pea sized lump at the back of my neck. When I push really hard it feels just like it does when you push on a knot. What could this be? I've been getting migraines again & my ears have been aching off and on.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lump that you have reported. A majority of these lumps are caused by infections. Unless they are big in size, they are never a reason for immediate worries. For now, monitor the know and only seek further advice if it increases in size or becomes painful. Avoid manipulating it all the ties as this can cause soreness.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
