About a year ago I noticed a pea sized lump on the right side of neck, about in the middle. I thought it was a pimple & squeezed it. The next day it was really swollen so I left it alone and it went back to pea size. Within the last couple of months I've noticed it got larger, maybe doubled in size. It doesn't hurt and I don't have any other lumps in areas where there are lymphnodes. A friend of mine whose girlfriend had Lymphoma freaked out when I told him and said I needed to go to the ER ASAP. He said when his girlfriend saw a doc, he said a lump on the neck is never a good thing especially when it doesn't hurt. I plan on getting it checked out, but don't think the ER is the answer. I don't believe in going unless something is broken or bleeding profusely. Any thoughts...

 Hi kerjo1,
Have you had an evaluation by your physician? Lymph nodes in this area that increase in size over a period of time and are greater than 1 cm warrants an evaluation in which I hope you have had completed.
Sincerely,
