Hello,
Since you are having a dull pain in the lump which is spreading to the lower back, you should get it physically examined.
It looks like Lipoma but since it is causing pain, the infection is likely to spread. If is is growing it need to be investigated to eliminate the presence of cancer cells.
You need antibiotics or removal if need be. If it is a bony growth, it will cause chronic pain if left neglected or untreated. Get evaluated, get treated at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
