Lower back and neck pain

Lower back and neck pain

2 years ago while pregnant with my son i started getting lower back pain, over the years it seems to be getting worse and i have a lump that appears at the bottom of my spine  the pain is now running down into my hips and legs, recently i have been getting pains in my neck and have noticed a lump starting there also  is this any reason to be concerned or should i plod along as normal?

Pain which is present for a lengthy period and is not associated with any traumatic event should be evaluated further.  While you are relatively young (peeked at your profile), it is possible that you may have some evidence of degenerative disc disease that is affecting your spine.  This is suggested due to the radiation of the pain down your hips and legs.
The "lumps" might be an incidental finding (we associate anything out of the ordinary as a possible cause of our symptoms), or an immune response to inflammation of the muscles.
The only way to determine if there are abnormalities that can be treated effectively is to have a physical exam and diagnostic testing which could include blood work and x-rays.
Hopefully you have the ability to seek medical attention and arrive at a resolution to your condition.
Best wishes ----
