What Causes Lump In Lower Back?
I had a lump on my left lower back and went to the doctor. It moves around a little bit but is very tender. The doctor said it was scar tissue because it was too hard to be a lipoma (which run in my family). Since then (2 weeks ago) I now have gotten two more, one about an inch lower and another on my right lower back. Two of them run more horizontal and the other is more vertical. So I m not buying the scar tissue answer. any suggestions of where I should go to get a second opinion? Thank you so much

HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,after its review,In my opinion you need to have Second Opinion from Surgeon,who is the right doctor to opine on it.
In my opinion it could be mostly a NeuroLipoma or a dercums Lipoma with multiple lipomatosis ,which runs in your family.
But the its multiple occurence questions on its being infective boils,which needs to be ruled out by physical check from Surgeon.
Antibiotic regression would prove that they are boils and not Lipomas.
But for this you need to have Second opinion as rightly thought by you and advised by Me in the beginning of this reply.
Hope this reply resolves your worry with your queries.
