They dont pain, they can be noticed if I stretch my neck upwards or to the right. Whom should I consult to get the right diagonisis? I visited a dentist as i had pain inside mouth he said I had peritonitis..I keep thinking about it and worry a lot that it might be a cancer. I was under a treatment for gastroentritis.
