Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Spine
Hi Doctor
My wife has a small lump on her spine. However it is painful and she limbs while walking specifically the top of her right leg near the joint of the hip. He back aches in the day and at night.
She visited a doctor and had her examined. However the Doctor reassured her that it is a muscular knot and she needs a deep tissue massage ?
How can we be sure that it is not a tumor?
