What Does A Lump On The Right Side Of Neck Indicate?
I have a painless lump on the right side of my neck near my shoulder. It is visible and seems to be getting bigger.There are no other lumps, ie armpit, groin, etc so it may not be a lumph node. I left weights and carry a heavy briefcase on my right shoulder; could this be a "knot" in a muscle?

Hi.
The knot in the muscle is very painful, and the one at this spot can be really making one have a really painful movements.
This can be a lipoma.
I would advise to get a clinical examination by a Doctor and investigations if needed.
As this area is going to be used always.. Getting the lump excised is the best way to get rid of the disease and to get a proper tissue diagnosis by histopatho examination.
