I have a huge knot at the base of my neck. and there's a smaller one further up my neck. the huge knot never goes away and it's right where my spine?

Normal anatomy: This is a very frequent question and for most patients, the "knot" at the base of the neck is normal anatomy - the spinous processes of C7 and t1 are larger than the adjacent spinous processes, which gives the illusion of a knot. Patients never notice that until they start having pain and reach back there. Your smaller knot may very well be a spinous process also. See an md if symptoms persist.
