Hi [@AnxietyGirl]‍ 

this “lump” or “muscle knot” you had in your neck long ago, what was it? i’m 16, and i’ve had this small lumpy-thing in the side of my neck for years which has remained the same size, and nothing has brought issue. i’m just worried what it could be - i don’t know if it’s a muscle knot; i don’t wanna get myself worked up. thank you x 

Hi it ended up just being a node that is just there nothing sinister it's just the way it is. As long as it doesn't get big like a golf ball size where is visibly protruding out of your neck then I honestly would not worry. If you are feeling so worried where you can't get on with normal life then go to a doctor to put your mind at ease.

Hi there, I know this post was years ago but I just wanted to say thank you. I am in the exact situation you have described worried about a small lump on the side of my neck with pain and have been sick with extreme anxiety for days - seeing the doctor tomorrow. This has really calmed me down knowing someone with the same thing was all ok so thank you. I understand the struggle of debilitating health anxiety and I hope you’re doing ok.
