What Causes Lumps In Neck Near Shoulder Area?
Are you really a doctor?
I can feel lumps in my neck, one on each side, at the very bottom of my neck, almost the shoulder area. They almost feel like they could be bone but I dont think bones are suppose to be there. I have constant nagging aches in my neck and shoulders.
