They can be mineral deposits from your body (mine were caused by caffine) or something more serious; See you doctor. = Answer == They could be swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are grouped together along lymph vessels throughout the body. There are a few places in the neck that have a cluster of these nodes. If you've been sick recently, then they are more than likely swollen lymph nodes. These nodes serve to filter out toxins and infection as these things circulate through the body. If a great deal of immune waste is filtered through one particular area, that area becomes congested with filtered material. This presents as lumps along a chain, because these nodes are along a lymph vessel pathway. These nodules will dissappear in time, no treatments needed. If you want to speed things up, you can look on the internet for lymph massage techniques, in which you can strip the congestion out by stroking the area in the direction of natural lymph flow. If you have not been sick lately, then it's important to get this looked at. There are other possibilities, but don't worry yourself...this is a very common finding.

My niece has a painless pea-sized lump in her jaw muscle and another in her neck and now the one in her neck has grown to quarter sized in about 3 days but still painless What could this be?
It could be as simple as lymphadenopathy associated with a viral infection, or as complex as multiple lymph node involvement from one of a variety of lymphomas. The fact that these are painless is a bit concerning. So, to be on the safe side, it would be prudent to have her obtain a scheduled appointment with her physician to assess the situation.

What is the hard painless lump at the base of your neck?
This sounds like what i have. I've had ultrasounds and biopsies and other tests done and found out its a goitre.. ie. a 3.5cm cyst, on my thyroid in my neck. It's harmless. And blood tests showed my thyroid levels are fine. But i have to keep an eye on it - it seems to have gotten smaller (by like a cm?). But it still annoys me knowing it's there... grrrrr! Sometimes i just wish it'd disappear and sometimes i think about just getting it cut out so there's no lump - however then i'd be left with a scar... so im just gonna leave it.
