Hi I fell 3 days ago and 2 wooden cot rails fell on my back and my lower back was swollen and I was in a lot of pain . The swelling has gone down now but my back is bruised and I have a small lump in the middle of my lower back. Can you tell me what the lump could be?
Hello, thank you for your question. It is probably infection around foreign body, in this case piece of wood. If you were my patient I would suggest surgical excision of the lump and taking some oral antibiotics.
