Suggest Treatment For Cyst On Lower Back

default
Posted on Sat, 23 Jan 2016
Question: I have a small cyst on my lower back, right side. Has been there for approx. 2 months. For the past few weeks have experienced sudden pain when moving or turning over in bed. Location of pain starts just below cyst and goes down right side of leg. Haven't done anything unusual that would have caused a muscle strain. Should I be concerned?

Brief Answer:
Need to be examined

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Health Care Magic.

A cyst which is not painful and not increasing in size is normal but when it becomes painful or if it is increasing in size has to be removed and the removed cyst has to be sent for pathological examination.

Now as you said it is becoming painful this has to be removed as early as possible.

Please have a consultation with your surgeon and he will properly guide you.

Hope this explains in detail about your present condition
