The knot sounds like it is in either your trapezius muscle or your sternocleidomastoid muscle. These can be caused by sleeping with your head at a very bad angle, or you put a strain in one of those muscles. Best way to get rid of it is to see a certified massage thereapist.

∙ 16y agoWell, you must be asking about a knot at the base of your skull... Without more information I'll have to just discuss that... You have lymph nodes spread throughout your body. These lymph nodes are there to help fight infections (both viral and bacterial). When growing up, you are exposed to a lot of viruses, and your lymph nodes help your body neutralize them. To do this, the nodes actually grow rapidly to fight the infections, and once the infection are overcome, these nodes shrink back down. However, the actually become scarred and are unable to shrink back to their original size, and so you are left with these small hard nodes for the rest of your life. Now, if you are talking about a large lump that opens & drains a cheezy-smelly material every-so-often, then that is a sebaceous cyst (a plugged up oil gland)...

Like lay on your back and have a comfortable pillow under your neck. Put a pillow under your legs so you can't turn. When you turn at night, your neck is most likely to twist.

The pain being experienced in this question could be due to muscular dysfunction. Many times a knot in the side of the neck could be due to the trapezius muscle, specifically the upper head. Upper trapezius issues can refer pain into the masseter, the muscle under the cheek. Otherwise this could be result of an injury such as whiplash, that causes not only knots in the neck muscles, but can lead to the jaw pain mentioned.
