Do swollen lymph nodes hurt? i have a marble sized bump on the back of my neck right above the hairline. it is also hard. what could it be?

Sometimes : Lumps in the neck can be caused by a number of things. They range from benign (like lymph nodes responding to an infection, cysts, or non-cancerous tumors) to serious. Your doctor, after doing a history and physical exam can help you and recommend a specialist if needed.
