The small intestine is responsible for most of your food digestion and all of your food absorption. The duodenum is the first section and is about a foot long. It digests all types of food (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) with the help of pancreatic juices. The duodenum, along with the jejunem and the ileum, absorb the nutrients from the digested food and transfer them into the blood stream. You can live without your stomach, but you cannot live without your small intestines.

Do you need to be concerned if a small painless bump comes up on your head?
If you are refering to small, fixed bony lumps directly behind the ears that do not "float" and are not painful, you shouldn't panic. This trait is genetic and traceable back to certain regions of Africa. If you're not black and don't have any black blood relatives, but your family claims to have native American blood somewhere in its lineage, you might be interested to know that a lot of times people would claim they had NA blood in the to cover up that their offspring had a black parent in the lineage somewhere. Also, there could be some African blood intermingled in with the NA lineage unbeknownst to your family.
I've got these "lumps" myself, my parents took me to the doctor when I was little (about 25 years ago), and he said it was fine. I learned about the genetic aspect about 7 years ago while studying human biodiversity in college.
If the lumps "float", are painful, or haven't always been there, I'd go pay the doctor a visit just to be safe--or simply for peace of mind.

If the pain is not constant or reoccuring its probably nothing to worry about. However it could be due to an infection in the lungs (viral, bacterial sometimes fungal) It also depends if the pain occurs when you breathe in or when you breathe out. If you are constantly experiencing pain, depending on how bad the pain is, you may want to get to a doctor. If it is an infection your body cant fight off you could be in more serious trouble once the infection becomes worse.
