What is causing hard, sore lump on the neck? Posted: 06-06-06 10:26am


I found a hard lump on the back/right side of my neck, which is sore, although not sore to touch, it feels like a tightning dull ache pain. It radiates up my skull and down my shoulder blade. It feels like it can go down a bit in size, then I feel it really sore and I can feel it quite plainly. I t is wearing me down, I have an appointment to see doctor tomorrow. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Generally, a hard lump on the back of the neck can be tumorous. Several examinations, however, must first be requested to differentiate the nature and origin of a tumor.
