I believe i may have a lipoma on my low back...I have been going through Nerve Blocks on Both Right & Left Side at L5 and then in the last 3 weeks had oblation on both the right & left side...at L5...It is Painful...the dr. did the oblation on the right side about 3-4 weeks ago and I noticed about 2 weeks ago that I had a lump there...I notice that when I bend over the bathroom sink to wash my face it is very painful in that area when I try to straighten up...What do you think???
Hi generally lipomas are painless and superficial swelling. If it is painful it means that it is attached to nerve root and attached to spinal cord. I advise you to do MRI LS spine to know the extent and attachment of tumor and consult neurosurgeon for surgery. Thanks
