Small lump at the left side of my head at the back? Please answer!?
I'm 15, I suffer from panic attacks, depression and anxiety, I'm on a antidepressant called Sertraline and I'm a bit of a hypochondriac about my health and you could tell that from my other yahoo questions.
About 2 weeks ago I had a cold and still now my nose seems a little sniffly and my eyes sometimes water and I get a few headaches on my forehead ect, Also I think I have TMJ because my left jaw clicks when I chew and makes my teeth ache a little sometimes along with a little ear ache, could I have a sinus infection?
Also just now I'm laid in bed and I randomly felt my head and the side of my head, right near where the skull ends behind my ear kinda thing a little to the left where the 2 bumpy bits are, the left side seems like a kinda small lump? I'm too scared too touch it, I'm already paranoid about brain tumors ect so please don't scare me :(
I sit on my sofa slouched to the left side whilst keeping my head straight looking at my laptop all day and It kinda causes my neck to be stiff and back, just thought I'd say because your neck obviously holds your head lol
Do you know what this could be? I'm at the doctors Monday for a check up thingy and might mention it :(

I have exactly the same thing. Turns out its just one of your lymph nodes. Everyone has them in slightly different places. Don't worry about it. If your leg drops off, then worry about it.

Its a Lymph Node! they basically mean you are fighting some sort of infection but could also be something more serious, and swollen lymph node under the chin or throat/neck area and back of neck and groin area,under arm, could indicate a possible cancer such as leukemia, lymphoma, or a head,brain or neck cancer, if there are swollen lymph nodes right above your collar bone it could indicate a possible lung cancer, but most of the time Swollen lymph nodes are harmless, and its fighting an infection such as strep or a cold, or sinus problems, if you are worried i would see your Dr. just to be sure, he will most likely do some blood work, and see if your having any other symptoms if he is concerned he will send you to someone who will Biopsy the lymph node !

The symptoms are similar to TMJ Disorder. If you have Tmj than that is not so bad as there is a complete holistic way to get rid of it and it is inexpensive.
