hi
yes you should be concerned about the swelling you have as it has started giving you symptoms of nerve being compressed.
you require to be be done mri of the affected spine to know the extent of nerve compression, after getting an ultrasound of the lump you have, according to the ultrasound you might require a fine needle aspirate to be done to know what is the lump.
i would suggest go see a specialist to sort you out.
hope have answered your query.
thanking you.
