Pea sized lump in neck

Hello, 

i have been able to feel a painless pea sized lump in my neck for approx two months now. It hasn’t increased in size, but it hasn’t gone. 

I do have IH (intercranial hypertension) and swollen optic nerves but doctors are unable to confirm what’s causing this. CT scan of my head was clear. I’m concerned there could be a connection. 

Has anyone been in a similar situation and would advise I get it checked out? 

Thank you

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I understand that you are concerned about a neck lump, but I don't think the forum is going to be able to answer your question.

    As nurses, we do not know what this lump may be and/or if there is a connection to your current health condition. 

    Anyone who notices anything that is different for them is best getting checked out by a doctor as they can review, assess and decide if further investigation is needed.

    Take care and I hope you get the information you need soon.

    Sarah.
