Hi,
I need some additional information.
size of lump,
consistency of lump,
is there any redness or increased temperature on the surface of lump?
is there any restriction of joint mobility?
your description of pain signify pain along sciatic nerve distribution probably due to compression by the lump. MRI of pelvis upper thigh may be the best option at this stage. Consult with a surgeon.
Take care.
