What Causes Lump On Neck?
I have a lump past 8 months now... It was not painful.. But stiff... Its on the left hand side of my neck. Since last few days i realize having smaller lumps by its side and some pain in my left hand from neck to the elbow. I have had a biopsy 6 months before and could not diagnose any tumorous cells. I also had gone through a x-ray and could not find anything out of it. But it has been consistent. Please consult me with it

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The lymph node should not always be a tumor or any malignancies.
2.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in any infections / inflammations and systemic diseases.
3.So first identify the cause , and treat the cause , the lymph node will go by them self.
4.Good you had biopsy, and sure with diagnosis.
5.Get an ultrasound scan done where it is extending from and what it is involving.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
