The bones at the back of my neck lump out, so it makes my head look like it is been pushed out a little. When I was younger I used to be overweight and slouched alot. Im not sure if I have lordosis but I dont want to undertake surgery. Can you help me?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history is not very clear with nature of lump and duration. But according to your words it seems like a long-standing and spinal lesion.2. The possible cause could be anything from a muscular lesion, lipomas, spinal lesions, tumors arising from spine, any disc pathology appears as a bulge, or bony pathology, degenerative growth and so on.3. At this point get an ultrasound to know the nature of the lesion its contents, sours of the lesion and its extensions.4. An lateral cervical spine exercise to see the bony pathology. But bet tool to investigate is MRI (if no issue with affordability that will be the best).5.Finally, if it's a mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology for assessing the cells of nature. Treatment depends on the investigation findings. Good luck Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
