Suggest Treatment For Lump Near Spine And Lower Back Spasms

My 23 year old daughter had a sudden lower back spasm and now has a 1/2 by 3 inch lump parallel to her spine along her lower back. It is very painful and her whole back hurts. We put topical anti- inflammatory/analgesic (aspercreme) on it, rested it, and she may have iced it, all to no avail. She also took naproxen. She is a very fit and active person. Running aggravates the pain. What course of action should she take?

thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....

well a lump in that area might have various possibilities....
lipoma being the commonest, also some cystic swellings, neurofibroma, other neurogenic cysts might be possible also....

but nothing can be said for sure without properly examining your daughter...

i would suggest that you take your daughter to a GENERAL SURGEON as soon as possible and he would be able to diagnose and treat the cause.....

hope this was useful...
contact me for any further informations.....
