I think I have a swelling on the side of my neck....
in my glandular area. Not a swelling really, but more of a thickening when compared to the other side. It might just be my imagination. I do tend to exaggerate, but I swear that I can feel something there, kind of. It feels kind of like a thick swelling, not a swelled thickening, but a thick swelling. I'm not sure of the size exactly, it seems to vary depending on my position. Like, if I am on my back, it might be between one inch and 1.5 inches, but if I am standing up....well, ok, if I am standing up, it is probably about the same size, well maybe a little bigger or smaller, but not so you would notice.

So, it is a thick swelling that may or may not change size positionally. Like that word? "positionally"? Pretty good isn't it? Makes me sound like I know what I am talking about, doesn't it?

1. mods should lock this. No "knowing what you're talking about" threads allowed
in the lounge.

2. Agree. "Knowing what you're talking about" threads would break
every existing Lounge tradition.

3. Swollen lymph nodes? That's the only thing I could think of.

4. A swelling on the side of your neck can be any number of things.
I don't think any of us can help you here. Maybe you should see your doctor.

6. Wasn't that hump on the other side of your back?
What hump?
:P

As has been pointed out, go see a doctor. Really.
