What Does Hard Lump On Lower Neck Area Indicate?

Hello! Im 38 and have a hard lump that does not hurt when it's touched. it is lower neck area. Its been there for awhile and at first I thought it was part of my spine. I also have been experiencing stiff back and neck problems. But nothing serious, just seems stiff when I stand up after sitting, etc.

Hi. Good day.
You have not mentioned whether the hard lump is in anterior neck or posterior neck And whether it is in soft tissues or related to bones.
A hard lump needs medical attention and a clinical examination is required. An ultrasound scan of neck if the lump is in anterior neck or related to soft tissues OR a radiograph if it is related to bones will help. If the doctor feels necessary a FNAC will distinguish benign from malignant lump.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer. Thankyou for choosing Healthcare Magic.
