A member asked:
Is this spaghetti thing i feel on 1 side of my neck a nerve? about 0.3 cm wide 0.8 cm long. feels like tendon. 2 friends have it too but on other side
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not nerve.: Nerves are almost impossible to feel. It is likely a tendon. Whether you can feel it or not depends on the position of your head and how much muscle and fat is over it.
