Reoccurring Lump On Lower Back, Painful. Any Ideas?
I am a 22 year old female that is 5'4 and moderately active. have a lump that forms on my lower back (right of the spine) and it tends to appear for short periods of time ( some lasting 20 mins to a couple of hours). I haven't done any heavy lifting just "weird" contortions such as yoga poses and stretches of the entire body. The only time I feel a slight pressure and a mild pain ranking a 3 (on a scale from 1 to 10) is when I twist my upper half in the right direction. This is the third occurance and the least painful. Other times the pain would leave me stiff as a board and with pain that ranks as high as 7 or 8. In all instances my skin is not red nor do I have any bruising. Just a large mass on my lower back that appears when it wants. Please help.

hallo my friend
i read your complete history
how is consistancy of swelling ,cystic[fluid like] ,firm ,hard?
is size of swelling increasing
i think its benign lipoma
and you can relax , not to worry much
you can do MRI spine and confirm dignosis
take calcium suppliment with vit D
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
spine exersizes r very important
for further query you can contact me atdrvaibhavg@yahoo.com

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The occasional lump on the side of your back can be related to a muscle spasm due to overuse of the muscles or a wrong posture. You need to have adequate rest, take muscle relaxants with mild pain killers for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
You need to be seen by a surgeon -
A mass that comes and goes (appearing intermittently) is generally hernia! - but the place is rather unusual for it... An abscess draining from the bone (spine)? And it is surprising that one can spot it in one's back?!
Examination is necessary / may be investigations...it may not appear during the examination...
See your doctor...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
