lumps on the back of my head

[jennie51200]

Hi, last night when I went to lay in bed, I noticed a sore feeling on the back of my head towards the right side.  I felt the area and noticed a fairly large lump.  The next morning, I noticed another fairly large lump, this time on the left side.  As the day progressed. I began to develop smaller lumps in the back of my ears, 3 behind my left ear and one behind my right ear.  The lumps are very tender and even hurt when I look up or turn my head in different directions.  I've also been getting prety bad headaches the last couple of weeks.  Is thias something that I should be worried about?

The scalp has drainage lymph nodes that could be not working correctly because of an infection.  The lumps could be backed-up fluid containing bacteria/viruses...I would make an appt. soon.

Hope you have made that doctors appt or went to the ER.  This is not normal and could suggest many things.  Please get to a doc

I would make it into the doctor as soon as possible.  Unusual lumps anywhere on the body is not normal.
