What Causes Painful Mass On Lower Back?

I have pliable cartilage type mass on lower back, on left and right side just below the belt line. I play a racquet sport seriously and on one session during a game 2 days ago, when I torqued my body I experienced a sharp pain (like a nerve pinch) exactly on top of one of those masses. Now the pain appears even when I torque my body slightly. So I can t play anymore and am worried.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is some kind of lesion ( mass) then this need to be clinically examined and investigated to know the nature of this, till then it is better to have some rest and for the pain you can try "Diclofenac 50 mg sustain released" once in day, only if this is paining too much else no need to have any medicine, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
