Neck Lump - can someone please help?

Posted by ILoveMyBrother

My brother has a very large lump on the base of his neck on the lower cervical vertebrae.  It is very painful and tender.  He was in an accident when he was young, and his spine was damaged.  Could this be related?  It is swollen and red and driving him crazy.  Any advice (other than "go to the doctor" which we are doing)?
