You ought to see your regular physician/PA/NP first and let them determine if you need to see a specialist. What they will do is examine you and get the right lab tests, Xrays/MRI/CT scan, etc to see if you really do need to see a specialist. It would be a shame for you to go to an internal medicine doctor, then find out you should have gone to a surgeon or cancer doctor.

∙ 18y agoAlthough not a qualified medical professional i feel I am able to answer this question. If you find a lump in the back of your neck you should do exactly the same as you do if you find a lump anywhere else on your body and that is go as soon as possible, preferably immediately to see your GP. No matter how small NEVER leave a lump anywhere on your body ALWAYS let a qualified professional look and tell you it is okay to leave. If a choice arises to leave or have it removed, if possible i think it always preferable to have it removed then you know it is gone, but this is secondary just remember find a lump, go to your doctor. If you have found a lump go NOW and make the appointment, if they are shut phone as soon as they open NEVER LEAVE A LUMP!! Adam good answer

∙ 17y agoThe word lump is a very general, undescriptive word. With such a lack of description, one cannot give you a definite answer. If you want a proper opinion, then get a proper examination...in person with a professional.

∙ 16y agoI knew an old lady(94 yrs old) who has now passed away of old age, that had that exactly but it caused her pain, was always there since a fall that caused an injury that caused calcium to grow called a bone spurr. You could go have it checked just in case thAT IS NOT IT. It very well COULD be a tumor(cancerous or beneign) or a ganglean cyst(full of fluid that,my mom says "if you smack it hard enough they burst and dissolve. But if they hurt they are usually a calcium thing")
