Back Pain, Hard Lump In Lower Back. History Of Physical And Mental Stress. History Of Cancer In Family. Serious?
Dear doctor,
please note that i have been in much physical and mental stress these past months due to my final year exam in textile and fashion design. I had back pain since these past two weeks and yesterday i've noticed a very hard lump deep in my muscle in my left lower back and it makes all my lower back aching. I am afraid , is it cancerous? my mother was a stage 1 breast cancer last year and is on remission. Please help me. Many thanks

Hi:
I have reviewed your query
I will advise you to examine your breast first to see if there is unusual lump there.
you need to be seen by a doctor to examine you, and decide if the lump is benign or not.
there are lots of causes for back pain, cancer is the least common cause, so you can enjoy your weekend and book to see a doctor next week
take care
