What Causes Stiffness And Lump Like Feeling In The Mid Area Of The Neck?
Yes - I have suddenly - 2 weeks ago - and then again today - had a squishy feeling lump that is quite flat appear on my neck between the occipital bone and mid region. I awaken with my neck very stiff for hours and a rounded feeling of a lump can be felt when my head is down. It feels numb when I rub it. I don t know whether to be concerned or not? My mom has sjgroens and I have lots of the symptoms but not an official diagnosis so I m not sure if it s related. I ve been tired a lot and have had mild headaches behind my eyes lately.
