What Could Cause Back Pain In Patients With Lump In Spine & History Of Endometriosis & Ovarian Cyst?

My 19 yr old daughter experienced a sudden onset of lower back pain yesterday that radiated to her hips and she found it difficult to walk and was in a great deal of pain thru out the day. Tonight however she says she cannot stand up straight or bend over....she has an approx 5 range of motion but she also has a very hard lump to the left of her spine (L3-5?? area). It doesnt hurt to touch and doesn t move. It is 930 pm on fri. night....should I be taking her right in to emerg tonight? history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts.

Dear patient
Sudden onset of back pain with lump in lower back is mostly haematoma. Muscle spasm due to haematoma leads to stiffness and restricted movements. Other rare possibility may be psoas abscess. She should be investigated with 1.ultrasound of abdomen 2. Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis. Visit expert spine surgeon with report.
