[|Human|] I have a very painful lump on the side of my neck. I have gotten ice pick headaches in the past, and I m getting the same feeling in the lump on my neck. It hurts to bend my neck in any direction, and it s giving me constant migraines. The lump had been there for years, and recently just started giving me problems. I ve been having migraines since I was around 7, those are nothing new, but this is just making things so much worse.
[|AI|]  Hi.based from your description, it could be a possible cervical lymphadenopathy (inflamed lymph node) probably secondary to a recent upper respiratory tract infection; an inflammation secondary to a muscle strain; a possible lesion of thyroid or salivary gland in origin; other considerations may be fibrous, lipoma or cystic formation. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an ENT or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Further diagnostic examination such as neck ultrasound, ct-scan or x-ray, thyroid function tests and tissue biopsy will be recommended as needed. Malignancy and other tumor types must be ruled-out. Subsequent management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
