What to do about a painful lump and throbbing at base of skull on left side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: For a physical exam. The lump may just be inflamed portion of a muscle that you've subjected to a constant strain with poor posture or it could be something very different. Impossible to tell.
