Suggest Remedy For A Painless Lump Appearing On The Spine

Hi i have a painless lump probably the size of a quarter maybe 3 inches to the right of my spine, i can feel it you cant see it, it moves around. Lately just a tad underneath it has been hurting generaly only when i put pressure on it. If feels almost as if the muscle there is deteriorating im not sure what this is. I also notice lately i been bruising very easily. Not sure if this has anything to do with it

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. The history suggest most possible cause could be lipoma - lesion with fat content. Followed by spinal lesions, cystic lesion.
2.As its not hurting much - infective aetiology will be ruled out, absence of neurologic a rules out spinal causes.
3.If you are my patient, i would have examined first followed by an ultrasound examination - it will help to assess the source of lesion, its nature ( cystic, solid), and where all the lesion is extending. FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology - will be done to identify the cells.
4.After that if necessary MRI will be needful - as MRI is good in anatomical delineation.
5.Depending on the imaging and pathological findings - needful action can be taken.
6.Suggest you to see you GP get the needful things done, mean while do not press, scratch the lesion, maintain local hygiene. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
