so i've got this lump on the back of my neck.

like there's a little pea under the skin. just noticed it the other week because it was tender. it doesn't hurt now but it's still there.
i've got an appointment with the GP next week anyway so i'll mention it then but anyone have any ideas?

swollen gland possibly? Have you been ill recently?

I get this sometimes and have been told it's a harmless raised gland.

not been ill but have been stressed.
hopefully it'll just be a gland. thank you!

I get these too from time to time, like a little pea exactly as you describe, been to GP who says they are just lymph nodes and your immune system responding in a normal way. Best see what the GP thinks though!

Let us know how you get on
