Bruised Back, Pain In The Spine. Painful Swollen Lumps Behind The Ear. Cause?
I just noticed recently that the small of my back looks pretty bruised, and isn't straight. there is pretty noticeable curvature just in that spot! My left side hurts from my spine all the way around to the front on my left side from top to hip bone. And I have some kind of swollen lumps behind my right ear along the bottom of my hairline, and they hurt. I can feel it when I turn my head, and I can not press on that whole area behind the right ear into the back of the neck..

Hello,
Firstly swelling behind your right ear may be postauricular lymph nodes.
It may be due to ear infection or any infection in the surrounding area and scalp.
Secondly regarding the spine, there may be any intervertebral disc prolapse with bony degeneration. Most probably Spot spine is a possibility.
