A knot popped up on the back right side of my neck about a year ago and stayed for a couple weeks then went away. Now its back in the same exact spot just a bit bigger. Its not real hard, its kind of squishy, hurts when I turn my neck a certain way and hurts to touch it. I havent done anything to strain it or anything and I m kind of worried. I ve been looking online and most of what I see about lumps and knots on the neck is cancer. I ve already had cervical cancer and when I was younger I had thyroid problems but I took the medication and everything was fine. Now this has randomly popped back up and I dont have the money for a doctor to tell me its nothing but like I said I m very concerned. Any information you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, feel free to ask me any questions... I m very worried about this because alot of people in my family have suffered cancer and I have already been through the problems of cervical cancer. I would like to know what it is so I can determine whether or not I should see a doctor or what to do.
