What Causes A Tender Lump On My Neck?

I' m in my mid-20's and have a tender mass on the left side of my neck. The more I touch and try to feel ot, it becomes more and more tender. I've also had intermittent (severe) dizziness. I had a baby 1 year ago and have had all kinds of strange medical issues from fluctuation thyroid (started out hyper now on the hypo side), gastroparesis, hypoglycemic attacks, and whatever is going on with me now. Please help!!

Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The way you have described, it seems like an infective cause ( abscess, infective collection) tenderness on touch with pain and dizziness.
2.With your previous history thyroid mass can not be ruled out.
3.In this case you need to get an ultrasound neck done - which will hep to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.
4.Even before that it needs to be examined and palpated - may be a course of antibiotic is enough to treat.
5.The scan will be confirmatory to start treatment. Good luck
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
