I have a lump in the back of my neck for years that will not go away. it is firm and it feels like its fixed to my muscle. three weeks ago i had xrays?

Neck lump: It could be a cyst or a lipoma. Good news is, most things that are there for many years and don't cause problem in that time usually don't ever cause problems. But it's good to get it checked out. Other than xray, your doctor might suggest further imaging (MRI) and/or a biopsy to know for sure.
