Does A Lump On Upper Spine Cause Hip And Pelvic Pain?

I have experienced hip, low back, pelvic and groin pain fro over a year due to an injury. I fell directly onto my left sitting bone onto a concrete fall. Pain is achy, burning, crampy and extreme at times. i have difficulty walking and sitting. MRI s of lumbar spine and pelvis with nothing significant. I have recently found a hard lump on my upper spine near my lower ribs on the left side. This is very hard and very sore to touch. Could this be the cause and should i get further medical attention.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
Actually,there is not much connection between the lump in ribcage area and pelvic hip pain. You can get a MRI of the lump region to confirm any connection.
But i feel you might have strained some nerve / muscle that might be causing the trouble.Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
