Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Lower Back

I am 51 yrs old. I have an egg sized lump located in my lower back close to my spine. My doctor says it s a lipoma and nothing to worry about. Sometimes it hurts and cannot sit in a hard back chair as it puts pressure on it, otherwise it does not hurt. Should I be worried?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have soft tissue tumour like lipoma, neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or some other tumour. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most of the soft tissue tumour. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
