Welcome to health care magic.
1.It looks like a ganglion arising from the joint space of your spinal region.
2.In this case one need to examine to help you in better way after seein and palpating the area.
3.These ganglion's arise from joint space, tendon and nerves - usually painless and does not need any intervention unless it is symptomatic.
4. Investigations recommended in this case is an ultrasound of the region - that will evaluate the nature of the lump, its content, source and extensions.
5.MRI will be definitive. You initially get examine first and follow the physician.
Good luck.
