How Should A Back Lump With Swelling, Pain And Numbness Be Treated?

Fell on my back in a soccer game a week ago. Now a large swollen lump just appeared on my lower back yesterday. One week after I injured my back. Size of a lemon or golf ball. Painful to touch. The lump isn t painful, feels numb. Pressure on it causes my back area under the lump to hurt. Any idea as to what it is? What type of doctor should I go see?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some haematoma formation due to injury. You should go for x ray of that local part. If no any bony injuries are there then no need to worry. Just take anti inflammatory plus analgesic drug. If you have any bony injury then consult orthopaedic surgeon and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
