Answers:
A knot would move under your skin, usually so would a cyst!. A tumor Is usually hard & doesn't move!.!.!.but it doesn't usually swell either!.

Try putting on Ben Gay, Aspercreme,etc & then take 2 Advil or Aleve!.
Try putting ice pack on 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off!.

If it doesn't feel better, check with your MD; you might need a MRI!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
