What Does A Knot On Neck Indicate?

Hi, my mother recently had a herniated disc and she got the surgery to replace it about a year ago. The disc was located near her neck. We went to a ski resort a few days ago and she went down a path on a sled that really hurt her neck. Earlier today she asked me to look at a growth near her neck and it kind of feels like a knot. She told me that it s numb and that she can t feel it. Do you know what is happening?

hi.

it is best if you bring your mother to a doctor for clinical evaluation. imaging studies (i.e. cervical x-ray, neck ct-scan or mri) may be requested to further investigate her condition. management will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
