What Causes Neck Pain And Movable Lump Above Collarbone?

I have a lump on the right lower side of my neck, behind and right a above my collar bone, it s moves lower when I tilt my head down and is higher when I lift my head. I noticed it just today and I am worried, I wonder if it is a knot in my muscle hopefully because the past few weeks I ve had some neck problems when I sleep and I have been getting a sore neck. I do not know what it is it is about an inch in length buy it does not hurt.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long you are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are you running fever? Any other lymph node swelling in your body? Is swelling on both sides of neck or not?
You need to be examined by the surgeon so that a reasoned conclusion can be drawn. possible differentials include lymph node enlargement , lipoma , muscle haemtoma , cyst, lymphoma.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain and meet your surgeon
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
