What Do Knots On Neck Indicate?

Hi I have two knots in on my neck one on my left side and one on my right side they get really sore and big most of the time. I have asked doctors about this before and they say they are just lymph nodes. If that is true shouldn t they have gone away by now? I have had them for about 5 years now. I have also notice a lump on the back of my skull it s hard and doesn t hurt at all and doesn t move I can t tell if it s anything I should be worried about.

swollen lymph nodes for long duration could indicate tubercular infection or any type of blood disease, the best is to get it removed and get a biopsy done to clear the cause.
