A member asked:

16 year old female extremly bad headache knot on bottom of the hairline back of neck moves around when i rub it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too vague: It may be muscular (spasm or cramp) or could be a lymph node or a growth. See a doctor. Try applying heat to the area and using Excedrin advil or aleve (naproxen). But you should have it checked out if it doesn't clear up in a day or two.
