What Is The Painful Lump Near The Lumber Region Of My Spine?

I have a lump near the lumbar region of my spine about the size of a small grape.. My GP said it was a cyst. For years I had no symptoms. However, lately, I have mild pain under it constantly, especially if I cough or sneeze. and occasionally severe stabbing pain that can drop me to my knees with no apparent trigger. What do you think?

thanks for sharing your health concerns with us!

well, it seems that these are some kind of COLLECTION within the swelling and possibly it is a sebaceous cyst but it could be a neurofibroma also!

not to worry much but not to poke it as it can be infected.........

an FNAC TEST IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM IT!
