Current medical status: Lump growing on back near right side of neak. Started like a pimlpe. just getting bigger and starting to hurt. It's getting bigger every day. Have an appointment with my Doctor on the 23th, Just starting to get worried.



Given the data you provided, you might be experiencing an inflammation. The exact part or organ that is inflamed can not be told for sure. However, if the lump gets swollen, red, the pain increases, or a pus appears, you should immediately go to a clinic. Go to the clinic if you have a fever, also. All of these are signs that the inflammation has spread and might cause complications.
