Hi,
You are saying to have 7 nodules from your lumbar to your sacrum. If they are visible, could you please send to me a photo of them to assist you further? I'd really appreciate that!
There are many causes of these nodules. If the x-ray and your blood work looked normal; then, you should not worry about cancer. Could you please send in the result of MRI?
Some of the causes to the nodules you noticed include:
- lipoma (benign tumors of the fatty tissue)
- deformation of the tail bones due to arthritis
- sciatica
I'd advise to:
- wait for the results of MRI if you did not have it yet (if yes, could you send it to me?)
- if arthritis, get treated properly
- take pain-killers (by injection and orally)
- I usually prescribe myo-relaxants too
- do massaging/physiotherapy to lessen pain
- if it is lipoma, should talk to surgeon if can get it surgically removed
Looking forward to have the requested data in!
Thank you!
