Each side of my jaw under it, I have lumps going in a line all the way up to my ear, some small, some bigger, and they move around when I touch them. I noticed them back in January and I don't know how long they have been there. What could these lumps be and should I be concerned about cancer or other serious conditions?

I have a hard, cashew-shaped lump on my forearm near the elbow on my dominant arm. It doesn't move, feels stuck, and only hurts when I apply pressure. I've had it for a few weeks and it hasn't grown. I'm concerned if it could be something serious like cancer or if it's just a muscle knot. What should I do?

I’m experiencing a muscle spasm. I awoke this morning to what felt like T1-4 going into hyperxtension and cracking out of nowhere. I have been having a problem with one of my shoulders and I think it’s connected. I am a Pilates teacher and so pretty aware of my body and spine. I have a history of muscle spasms so my tolerance is pretty high as is my patience for them to subside on their own so, no I have not gone to a Dr. I immediately took 4 200mg Advil at around 6:30 am. It’s now 4 and they have absolutely worn off. Can I go beyond the recommended 6 in 24hrs because 2 isn’t going to do anything for me at this point. I regularly take 3 for any aches or migraines since I have a history of chronic spasms. I am 44, just had all my blood work done and am the picture of health otherwise.
