Egg sized neck lump, dizziness, headache, nausea

Hi Everyone, just wanted to see if anyone has been through the same. I have been suffering from the above plus blurred vision, pins and needles numbness for a long time and peripheral vision loss which comes back after a few seconds. But now I have this egg sized lump that has grown on the back on my neck and the doctor has decided on an emergency ultrasound. Before this lump my symptoms which I have had since 2013 weren't taken very seriously. 

Has anyone had the same and do you know what it could be ? I also have neck and face pain on the side where the lump it which goes into my back and shoulder. Thanks.

  • I've been experiencing the same symptoms for nearly a year. Now a lump on the base of my skull has started to appear. I have already had an MRI 2 weeks ago, this was due to limited movement with my neck and super bad headaches. The result was that I have serve degradation in my neck due to osteoarthritis. They also decided to give me a CT scan of the brain on the 17th December, now this lump has appeared. But none of the other symptoms have decreased. I'm at a loss I'm the only one who seems concerned with this, am totally at a loss.

  • Hi. 

    Sorry to hear about this for you!!!!  I am also exactly the same as you. 

    I also have a lump based of my skull. Top of my spine. It was a softish lump and within a week it was hard and had grown.

    I have been in and out if hospital with severe headaches since September.  Had a CT and was all clear now I still have the headache. But also have weakness of my leg and arm and like a tingling sensation across where the lump is and some middle back pain. I have literally just checked the lump and pressed down down felt sick and went all dizzy. 

    I also have had face and jaw pain especiallyy behind my ears which is strange.  I also feel sick.all the time. 

     

    The doctor is sending me for an MRI but still waiting for appointment. He doesn't think it should be anything serious but would like to get it checked out. 

    Have you heard any more?
