Pea sized lump on back of neck

[ikindawonder]

Three weeks ago i discovered a pea sized lump on the back of my head on the right side. At first the lump was not painful but now that three weeks have passed the side of my head seems to have a constant burning/pain sensation. The lump seems to have not changed in size nor has it moved. every now and then my back and neck will hurt, but the burning is constant and annoying. I have visited 2 doctors, the first felt of the area and said it felt like a torn tendon and told me not to worry about it. Two weeks later i decided to visit another doctor he said that he wasn't sure what it was but didn't look like anything bad (This guy was a joke). As of date i have had no test ran on me and i am in perfect health no other symptoms exist. 1 year ago i began having pain in my arms and back, I visited two different neurologist and had two MRIs of the lower and mid back. Both said everything looked good and to just see if it went away over time. I no longer have the arm or back pains but I'm  not sure if this is related to my current problem. My question is, Has anyone else out there ever experienced this or know what may be going on. What general direction do i need to start heading to solve this problem, my main concern right now is if this problem is severe AKA cancerous/tumor i don't want to waist time. Thanks for your help!

I have similar issues as well. I noticed a 2 pea sized lump just last night. One lump (left side of my neck) just 3 inches above the end of my collar bone and the other lump just an inch above almost inline to my other lump, few inches down the back of my ear. Mine are both a bit painful, hard & still. I told my hubby about it cause I'm worried it might be something serious cause a couple of weeks ago I feel dizzy but dizziness just come & go, also I've been complaining about my backache since I was in grade school. But I'm sure my backache is related to my scoliosis. Anyway, we went to the doctor this morning to have my lumps checked and I was surprised he said its nothing serious. It was just a cause from few mosquito bites on my back and few bites on my left and right arm. I had these red, itchy, swollen bites few days ago already which remains itchy every time I touch it unconsciously even now as I write this post, makes me  grrrrr... But I just noticed the 2 lumps last night. At first I was not so convinced with the doctor's opinion so I had to ask him more questions hoping to hear another answer of what it caused from but he is firmed about mosquito bites. When he pressed the big swollen mosquito bites on my back, I feel the pain from my lumps so its connected. So now I'm worry-free its nothing serious as I thought. The doctor supposed to prescribe me antibiotics but refrain from it as I'm afraid I'm 2 weeks pregnant. If I'm positive, antibiotics will harm my baby. I just chose to not take the antibiotics yet 'til after my PT. Since its my first baby-- so its better safe than sorry. I'll have to go back to the clinic in few weeks in case my lumps won't go away.
BTW: i also have "dry dandruff" but forgot to tell this to the doctor. I also experience numbness on my lower limbs but perhaps this isn't related to my pea sized lump. Hope this post helps.

I have had several issues lately. one being a lump just below my hairline on the right side. i was terrified it was something awful, and still not 100 percent that its not. But
what I found interesting that the doctor did say is. he assumed it was a lymph node. when he felt it he asked me if i had little bumps or been scratching my head. when i said yes. he said that when you have bumps on your head and you scratch them, that you can flare up lymph nodes. so he gave me antibiotocs to take ,a nd a shampoo for my head. he said if the itching stops it should help the lymph nodes go down... so i guess we will see.

I have also expereinced a bit of numbness... anyone else?

I got a horrible rash on the back of my neck after swimming at a hotel pool. I figured it was from the chlorine levels in the pool. I didn't think much of it but then I came down with pink eye. I haven't been anywhere to be exposed to it. Now I have a couple of lumps on the left side of my neck where the tendons that go down your shoulders are. I feel like I'm a mess and I can't seek medical help due to no insurance and no money. Please help.
