Suggest Remedy For Small Lump At The Back Of Upper Neck

hello Doc I have a very small ball on the back of my upper neck, on the right side I'm pretty sure its not a cyst. One day I turned my head to the left and felt a horrible pain on my right side, and now I have a small ball that you can only feel if i stretch my neck....what can i do, I've had it for over a year and it bothers me.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Lump with pain most possible cause could be infective aetiology.
2.Othere possible causes of lump in the neck regions could be vascular malformations, lipomas and lymphomas.
3.If you are my patient i would have examined the lump and ask for a ultrasound lump - to find out the nature of lump, its origin and its extensions.
4.Depending on size the treatment will be a course of antibiotics to small incision and drainage.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
