What Is The Lump On My Husband S Back Of The Neck?
My husband started having neck discomfort this afternoon. It gradually got worse through out the day. We noticed a lump on the back of his neck between the T1 and C7 vertebrae. The area is very tender. Is this something that requires immediate attention?

Hello
Many thanks for contacting HealthcareMagic
Based on your description of your husbands complaint , it’s possible he may be having local bruising or a mild inflammation or a muscle spasm. Although I can’t tell the exact diagnosis based on your description . What I can suggest is to observe the swelling for next few days and apply pain relieving balm or gel to the area where it hurts . If the pain and swelling does not subside within next 5 days plz consult your doctor .
Hope I have answered your queries
Wish you a speedy recovery
