What Causes Numbness In Leg And Lump On Lower Back?
My son was playing basketball and fell on the floor diving after a stray ball. As he was getting up another player landed on him with his knee in my son s back. He walked it off and was able to return to the game. He now has a lump on his lower back and has complained of his leg and/or toes being numb. Is it likely a very deep bruise or could it be more serious?

HI
Well come to HCM
Soft tissue injury may be likely and this may not be any serious injury, ask him to have rest for few days and for the pain any NSIAD (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drug ) can be taken, and best would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, if symptoms becomes worse or persistence then better get done the X-ray of injured part, hope this information helps, take care.
