Could Neck And Back Pain Result From Knot In Neck?

My 15 year old complained of neck and back pain and I noticed a hump/knot at base of neck at c7. Pediatricion ordered an X-ray and ref to ortho but didn't sign order so I am waiting for a new order from her. Any ideas? She's aid could be from a "growth spurt", but had no real idea what it was

This could very well be from a "trigger point" of the muscle, which causes pain to radiate in different directions. This can often be injected to release it. Topical ice can be applied also. Sometimes can be from growth deformities. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much, is it sounds less likely to be serious.
