I have noticed a soft lump about the size of a quarter on my spine somewhere around the t6 t7 area. Cant tell for sure if it is on the spine or off the to right a little bit. I noticed about a week and half ago. It is painful only if pressure is applied or if I bend over or stretch the arms. Trying to get into a md asap. Should I be concerned.
Hi, Such type of lump as you have described may be a cyst, lymph node or a lipoma. Let us have a look upon the differential features of these problems:1. A sebaceous cyst is movable, painful only in case of infection, and it has a back spot, the puncture. 2. Desmond cyst - A painless movable swelling situated in midline in the body.3. Lymph node - It is always secondary to an infection in area.4. Lipoma - Fat tumor and these are usually multiple. In my opinion, you may be suffering from either lipoma or a cyst. Both of these conditions are harmless. But medical examination is necessary. Signs are usually sufficient to diagnose but for further confirmation, a fine needle aspiration fluid examination may be carried out. Hope for better recovery
