What Causes Painful Lump And Bruise At The Upper Part Of Back?
Hi, a few days ago I started having this pain and a tender spot on the very upper part of my back on the top part of the spine. Pain got worse and is now a lump with a bruise on it. Went to GP and she gave me pain meds and prednisone. X ray came back normal. What could this be? I don t recall being hit at this spot. I am a swimmer. Is a possible I overdid it and tore a muscle that is now bulging out???Thanks!!

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You must be having abscess (pus).
Cause can be infected sebacious cyst or tubercular abscess in either case treatment is drainage of pus for which you have to see a surgeon. Antibiotics tablets only will not help. Prednoson tablet should not be taken preferably. If the abscess tern out to be tubercular/TB then further evaluation of spine/back bone is required along with Tab. for TB.
Regards
