Could The Lumps On Both Sides Of The Neck Be Related Cancer?
i have lumps on both sides of my neck and it hurts when touched. Ive been lifting heavy things a week ago. I am also a cancer survivor with my last chemo last March 2013. I want to know if it has something to do with cancer or just overused muscles and nerves. Thanks for your response.

Hi. Great that you are a cancer survivor.
If the lumps are fixed and move with muscle movements only , they can be from the over-used muscles , a sort of knot formation.
Another possibility can be multiple lymph nodes= as they are bilateral there is more chance of being infective in origin as they are painful too. Can be recurrence of cancer.
The best way is to get a clinical examination by the Doctor and FNAC of the masses...
