Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of a lump in the low back on the left side and there is pain down your leg when you walk, sit down and lay down. There is pain in the hip too. Your Doctor says X-ray is normal. I would advise you in such a condition the following:- First remember that X-ray has not much of a diagnostic value in such conditions. - MRI of the lump, spine and the hips would help you to get an appropriate diagnosis and a plan for proper treatment. - Clinical evaluation by an Orthopedic Surgeon would add on the diagnosis and get you proper prescription of medications.
