A member asked:
It feels like my neck muscles are bigger one my right than left right under my jaw not far from throat. could it be tension? should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be: related to increased tone/spasm of one of the neck muscles, but it's hard to say without examining you. It could also be related to several glands in that area or even other anatomic variants. If this isn't resolving, or is painful or worsening please seek help sooner rather than later.
