What Is The Swelling At The Base Of My Neck?
I have a swelling at the base of my neck and above my collarbone that is a little painful to touch, but last night I had a strange pain on that side of my neck leading up to my temple that lasted only minutes but has left me dizzy and disorientated this morning when I woke up.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Swelling at the base of my neck are likely to be due to a muscular spasm most likely caused by a wrong body posture. Taking mild pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful.
you can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
