I have a lump on my back that feels like a large air pocket, it isn t swollen nor does it hurt, no crackling sound when touched, and is about the area of a tennis ball or smaller. the lump doesn t feel like it contains a fluid, just air like. i do have pain to the left of the lump or swollen area, but it feels like a tight muscle. any ideas?

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from
Back Lipoma mostly as its non-tender and is common site for Big Lipoma.Sebaceous Cyst needs to be ruled out by USG study of the lump and by a Second Opinion from Surgeon.
If the lump is on the heels as said in the heading, which exposes the confusion by oversight/or typing mistake.Still if it is in the back of heel, TendoAchilles Bursa needs to be ruled out, from ortho Surgeon.
Treatment-
Would vary depending on the cause of the lump on the back or on the back of the heels.
Surgical excision if it troubles you is advisable.Else it is a benign tumor and need not worry unless its of cosmetic or pressure symptoms,for which I would suggest you.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
Have a Good Day.
