What Causes A Lump On The Neck When Diagnosed With Degenerative Arthritis?

I had a knot on the back of my neck for about 8 months. My neck has been sore. Last night, I felt it burst and felt liquid draining. It got very sore. The knot was never visible but could be felt by pushing on t It. My doctor did an xray 4 months ago and only found some degenerative arthritis. What could this be?

It may not be linked with degenerative arthritis. It may be cervical lymphadenopathy or cold abscess. Get tested for TB.
