Hi Sydney, how was your diagnosis?
I have a similar situation though I am unsure if it's the same thing.
I have told my GP about this and she said it's not the lymph node but seems unsure what it is. She however think it's not a lump as it is not hard so didnt recommend any furthe action.
I noticed it last year and who knows it has been swollen.
This is my description. It's swollen on both sides at the area where the neck and shoulders meet. It's not hard but it's firm. Because its swollen, there's deep lines on both sides of base of the neck.
I've been trying hard to find out if anyone has the same thing and came across your post which seems the most similar to my case.
Do let me know.
