Suggest Treatment For Hurting Neck
I hurt my neck at work. After a month of physical therapy, and not getting better, my doctor ordered an MRI. The MRI showed that I have a 9mm lymph node in level 2 of my posterior neck. I also have a small lymph node at level 5. The one at level 2 is bilateral. I am 29 and have not been sick or around anyone that has been.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Finding of lymph nodes at this site is quite common. Even if you have had common cold, the lymph nodes will enlarge. So unless you feel some local pain or tenderness or some other change like increase in size, red skin over it, do not worry about it. Go for neck pain treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel
