Red Lump On Back After Training At Jiu Jitsu. Will Icing Get It Down ?
Hi, I have just gotten back from training at Jiu Jitsu, and noticed a lump on my back (mid-upper back, on a bone in my spine ), I think it was either a result of a bad landing (although we were on mats) or from doing a lot of sit ups on a hard floor. I think it s probably nothing and will go down in a few days, but just checking. The lump is slightly red, and a little smaller than the size of the end of a table spoon; but I can hardly feel it at all. I only noticed when sitting back on a chair. Should I just give it some ice and some time to go down?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The red lump on the back could be due to a mild soft tissue injury, hematoma formation or a muscle sprain. Rest, icing and mild pain killers should help in reducing the symptoms.
