What Causes A Lump In The Middle Of The Lower Back After Injury?
Hi I fell 3 days ago and 2 wooden cot rails fell on my back and my lower back was swollen and I was in a lot of pain . The swelling has gone down now but my back is bruised and I have a small lump in the middle of my lower back. Can you tell me what the lump could be?

Hello ,
thank you for your question . it is probably infection around foreign body , in this case piece of wood . If you were my patient i would suggest surgical excision of the lump and taking some oral antibiotics .
