I am very concerned and worried...

My son in law was told he had a severe muscle spasm in his neck and we put it down to the job he does as a painter and decorator, he was prescribed a cocktail of tablets to take and had to go back yesterday, the pain had came back, so they inserted a camera through his nose to investigate, they have told him he has a 'lump' on the muscle and will have to see a surgeon which he isn't able to do until his GP recommends this, he has gone there today to see the GP, I am sooo worried and have hardly slept

didn't see those Qs sqad..sorry
Yes he did have a very bad ear infection on holiday last year, he said it was the most excruciating pain ever,
He does smoke but not that many, certainly not a heavy smoker
drink? a couple of bottles of Stella to unwind in the house but not every night, they rarely go out and are happy staying in, my daughter doesn't drink..
No change to his voice and no difficulty swallowing either

Bobbi, thanks. The diagnosis and hence future management will depend on the MRI scan. The ear problem that he had last year on holiday is totally unrelated.
Keep me informed of any developments and if I can be of any help, then I am only too happy to oblige.

Hi Joy, i've just been reading your update.Thinking of you and your family, waiting for tests / results is a horrible thing to do. Look after yourself. x

See a chiropractor. He will be able to tell your son how the lump on the muscle got there in the first place, and remedy the problem at source; it's probably a bone pressing on the muscle repetitively. Whereas the doctor will only tell you it's there, and the surgeon may take it out... only for another one to form in the future. Oh, and stop worrying about him. He'll be ok. You look after yourself too OK?!
