I have a lump on my lower left back about 2 from spine & 2 below waistline,its been there for about 3 years & few times each year I lift or twist the wrong way and it swells real bad and really painful. A few times when i was walking a jolt of pain would cause me to go down and when i held on to the doorknob to keep from hitting the floor, the pain was so bad i could not get up for a few minutes. I am a 37 year old male 5 7 tall 175 pounds. Is this a pinched nerve? What can i do about it,do not want to go to chiro. doc.
Hi.based from your description, it could be any of the following lesions: fibrous, lip or cystic formation. It is best if you consult with a physician, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as x-ray, ct-scan or MRI) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
