Please help, Im only 17

[scaredsilly721]

My neck had been bothering me for the past 2 or 3 days and was a little stiff on the right side only, i thought this was due to the fact that i play tennis and am right handed (or i just use my right side a lot more in general) and that my right side was just stiffer because i never stretched and stuff. However i was poking around and right where the front right of my neck connects with my collarbone, there seems to be a small lump that feels a little firmer and jiggly. Around 3 days ago i felt a little bump the right side of my windpipe that is a little painful if pushed. My neck also feels a little stiff.

I was just wondering what a lymph node in the collarbone should feel or look like to be considered enlarged and/or a sign of cancer. Please help me i'm really freaking out.

I think its best to make an appointment and see what the doctor says. The anxiety of not knowing is not good for you at all. Swollen lymph nodes don't necessarily have to be cancer, so try to not to worry and get checked out.

I wish you the best.

I think firstly checkup or Xray and then start any other treatment.
