Q. What is the lump that I can feel on the back of my neck?
Hello doctor,
I have a sore shoulder and neck. In the back of my neck, I feel a lump. I can feel it when I bend my neck forward and on my left side. I also get some burning sensation in my neck. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- What you described as a lump is C7 vertebrae. It is normally more visible than other vertebrae.
- It is appearing for you as a lump either because you are overweight or you have forward head posture or both.
- For burning sensation, pain and sore shoulders apply ice pack till the strong acute pain subsides and later you can do hot water fomentation.
- Once you start feeling better start with neck isometric exercises and stretching exercises. Get well soon.
