What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of The Lower Back?
Question: YES. I HAVE PAIN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY LOWER BACK AND WHAT FEELS LIKE A LARGE BUMP IN THAT AREA
Brief Answer:
Muscle spasm or from deep within that MRI can confirm or rule out
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Male/59 - pain right lower back - feels like a large bump in the same area ...
The probable causes can be:
- Muscle spasm appearing as a bump is well known.
- Affection of the spine, the vertebrae, can cause the swelling.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Clinical evaluation and actual examination by the Doctor.
This will give an idea of what next be done:
If the lump is due to muscle spasm, painkiller with an anti-inflammatory medication can help to relieve the spasm and pain.
If the bump is coming from deep within then an MRI of the area will help to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
I hope this answer helps you.
