Am just learning how doing a lymphatic drainage message on yourself can be a good thing for everyone.

A massage beyond the type you can do yourself of the base of your skull and neck isn’t safe.

Hi. That’s disinformation. A skilled BCTMB therapist can help.

lol. What a made up thing.

Don’t get this sort of message, it can kill you.

Or trust a “board certified” masseuse.

Ok buddy.

OP, this is almost definitely a lymph node that was reacting to something given the initial tenderness. If it's shrunk that's a very good sign. Don't go down an anxiety rabbit hole, just get an appt with your doc to get some reassurance but I've had mannnnyyy swollen lymph nodes like this. They can take a few weeks to fully shrink.

Sometimes the problem lies elsewhere. The symptom is base of skull pain/lump. The tension might be from lower or even anterior.
