Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A lump near the spine could be due to a soft tissue swelling or a bony growth. The exact problem can be detected after an MRI of the area. The lump is compressing the nerve roots and causing the numbness in the thigh area which needs an early treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
