What Causes Lump In Neck?

Hi I strained my neck months ago holding a heavy mattress up while I fixed a bed, my neck has got bit sore at base of skull and when I bend my head back to look up in sky also. I have a lump aswell so I went to the doctor and he checked me over and thought the lump was Notthing to worry about but said if I wanted he send me for a MRI scan for peace of mind on my cervicle spine between c5 and c7 The doctor also sent me for a well man blood test which came back all good.. My MRI is on Tuesday and I m still very worried the lump is serious.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
ou have a history of holding a heavy mattress up while fixing the bed and developed this pain at the base of the skull, which increases on bending back the neck.
Since you have consulted a Doctor, he might have examined and seen something of importance and ordered you the MRI.
As per your history this looks just to be tendinitis where the muscles get attached to the bone.
Local warmth, collar support and anti-inflammatory medicines as Ibuprofen in proper dosages will help you.
Rest of the treatment after the MRI report if there is any positive findings.
I find this answer helpful
