I have a hard knot on right side about two inches above ear it's been there about 14 years hurts when i stress please help i did go about 10 years ago?

Its part of your: skull where muscles attach. These muscles go into spasm when you are stressed. That is why it hurts. Use ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain. I don't think it is anything to worry about.
