I have this sore lump getting bigger over the base of my occipital bone.

I am not content with this development

i assume, since you don't seem overly alarmed, that you hit your head or something of the like.

Not to her knowledge, and I think she is freaked out a bit.

Didn't hit my head. I am currently hoping I have a lymph node there, and this it too has decided to join its brothers and sisters and become inflamed randomly and for no good reason.

admittedly, my knowledge of the lymphatic system is less than expert...

but i'm fairly certain there's no lymph nodes located about the occipitus. wikipedia seems to agree with me about this, as well.

that sucks.

Over the past 3 years I've had lymph nodes all over from front and back neck chain, axilla and jaw swell up (usually on the left side)... I was hoping this was just another lymph chain I didn't know about... The nearest node that I know about for sure is about 2 inches away.
