What Causes A Lump In The Neck After Hearing A Sound In The Neck?
I streched on my bed, and while i was doing that i tipped my head back and yawned. something in my neck popped and the pain was so strong i could not move my jaw or speak. I went to take a tylenol and i felt a pop and it went back in place. it is still hurting but is managable. the lump occured on the right side of my neck where doctors check to see if you have swelling or irritation when you are sick. lump is really puffy now. should i be worried or will i be all right?

Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to luxation of the temporomandibular joint, which seems to have been corrected by itself.
I recommend avoiding excessive mouth opening or chewing hard food in the next days.
In the case of pain, ibuprofen can help. Anyway, nothing serious seems to be going on.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
