What Causes Painful Lump On The Right Side Of The Neck?
Hi, I have neck problems 20 years after I landed ( feeling unable to move for apprx 5 mins) on it while I was doing gymnastics training. Over the years I have done physio/ chiro. I live on anti inflammatory tablets and pain medication. I have constant headaches, dizzy spells and in the past few years I have had a painful lump i on the right side of my neck. If I touch it I get dizzy. This also happens when I turn my neck . I'm only 34 years old and Im at the stage where I struggle and scared just to drive. Doctors don't seem to care, just recommending physio and chiro and medications.. Please help me!!. Amy

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It can be the mass arising from the thyroid/brachial cyst/lymph nodal mass.
2.If its seen with the fever we can suspect an abscess.
3.You can go for any treatment not an issue but first you need to find out what is the lesion in first place.
4.It can be confirmed by getting an ultrasound scan done to know where it is arising from and what it consists of and how it involving adjacent anatomical structures.
5.Once confirmed you can think of treatment.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
