Pain: Several possibilities for what is going on. Should see your doc to clarify diagnosis and be treated as appropriate.

Likely muscle spasm: Consider taking Ibuprofen and moist heat to the area that hurts. A soft collar can also decrease the pain by limiting motion. See your doctor if the numbness lasts more that 2-3 days.

Vertebra prominons: Often folks with whiplash think the prominent tailbone or spinous process at C7 is abnormal. It is not. I recommend a collar, non- steroidal antiinflammatory agents and chiropractic care and or physical therapy.

Hello. I am a 37 year old woman. A few days ago I found a swollen bump under my skin on my left cheek near my ear. Over the next three days it spread to behind my ear and down my neck. It seems to be several swollen bumps that are connected and are painful to the touch. My ear doesnt hurt, just the bumps. Otherwise I am a little stuffed up and tired but I feel fine.
