lump in neck

I have a small marble size lump on the inside of the right side of my neck. It is close to my esphogus and is painiful when I swallow or stretch my neck.  It was sudden onset since last week. I am 56 yrs old. I have thyroid nodules which are benign and stable. I had blood work last month which was all normal. What could cause this condition?

Another thought:  Blood test are not always accurate or thorough. Especially w/thryoid so go back to your doctor and ask for a referral to a thryoid specialist.

Could be you're getting sick. Your glands could be swelling, but get it checked by the doctor.
