Any advice would be appreciated 

I have a neck lump not in the same place but being tested as we speak. I would note any changes in tenderness, hardness, itchiness, soreness, and size. Any changes should be reported to the doctors. Yes they are busy but there are doctors available for consultations should they deem that neccesary. Lumps can be alssorts of things and not always something to worry about and yes ignore internet can be a very scary business! often the doctors will leave many lumps for about three weeks before they deem it neccesary to have them tested as a lot of lumps can change and disappear. if your still concerend after a few weeks ask for a telephone consultation if you cannot get a visual one and get your questions answered. Best of luck

Hi Emma 

I first noticed the lump just over 3 weeks ago. However I'm not too sure if it's been there for longer or not as I never really checked the area for lumps. 

Hi Elona 

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I've been waiting a few weeks since my last appointment however still no change in the lump. I did notice it get a bit more tender this past week but I think that was due to me constantly touching and prodding at it. 
 

I'll probably wait another week or 2 and if there is no change I'll call the doc back again. 

HI John

Let us know how you get on but dont wait too long. 

the trouble is with lumps you cant help but keep touching them when you know they are there!! 

When you do speak to doctors ask about a blood test too i.e. thyroid etc. 

kind regards
