Back Pain

[Bob's Girl]

I have a small lump near the middle of my lower back on my right side. I have had this for many years and have had 2 doctors "look" at it. Both telling me that they do not believe it is anything to worry about. Recently I have been having constant discomfort in my back in the vacinity of this lump. It is very uncomfortable for me to sit in a chair or sleep on my back or right side at night. Do you think this lump is causing the pain or do you think it could be an underlying condition?

I also have another lump in the the middle of my back which sometimes causes tingling. Do you think these lumps are serious?

Hi
Definally get it checked out.  I would get MRI.

I had stinging in my middle back, I ignored for awhile.
As Spine tumors are rare I had read.

I talked my Pain doctor into MRI of my middle spine.
After much worry and Catscan, bone scan, 30 days of worry.

It was tumor benign called Hemangioma at my t-8 vertabre it is pressing on sac . So I have to watch it. ( It is made up of blood vessels).  Apparently 10% of women get them and no problem if it is not growing. Come to find out I have 2 in my lower back too.  

So check it out for your peace of mind. Could just be fatty tissure. My husband has few on his body. Needs to be checked out

Thank you for your input. I did go to my doctor and she sent me for an MRI yesterday. Now I just have to wait for the results. The pain has gotten worse, but at least I may know what is causing it.
