I'm not sure if this is the correct forum . . . I anyone can suggest a better one, please let me know.

I have a lump on my neck that is located in the left posterior triangle under the skin. I first noted it approx. 8 weeks ago. The lump is not "hard," but is firm. It is not tender. It is approximately 1 3/4 inches long and runs on a diagonal from an area a couple inches above the top of my clavical (where it attaches to the shoulder) toward my throat. It seems to taper. (meaning larger at the top and narrower as it goes down my neck) any growth of this lump if any, has been so minimal as to not be noticed.

Although when feeling the lump, it can be felt by moving my fingers upward or downward, it is really pronounced when moving my fingers downward.

My primary care doctor sent me for a ct neck scan. Three lymph nodes were noted at 7mm, 5mm and 5mm. All are considered within normal parameters. He then sent me to an ent specialist who found nothing out of the norm and states there is nothing to worry about. Upon a followup visit to my primary care physican, he tells me based on the cnt findings, don?T worry, monitor the lump, go to followup exam with cnt specialist and let him know if it changes.

I believe in fixing a dripping faucet before it cannot be turned off. I feel the same about my health. Early detection of any potentially adverse condition is essential to effective treatment. Any suggestions would be appreciated. As it seems to be along the muscle, is there such a thing as a "muscle" specialist that I could seek a second opinion from?
