What Causes Painful Lump Above Hip Bone?

I have a painful lump above my left hip bone. I m a female and it hurts when I bend down to pick something up and suck in my stomach. I m not sure what this is and how concerned I should be. I only noticed it yesterday when I felt the pain above my hip as I bent down. As I palpated the area I noticed a small lump.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump above the hip bone which hurts on bending is suggestive of soft tissue swelling.
Since, the lump is painful on movement, a muscular origin of the lump is suggested.
A clinical assessment of the lump is required.
Imaging study of the region will help to determine the site of origin of the lump.
An aspiration cytology of the lump will further help to know the site of origin and nature of the lesion.
Further management of the lump can be planned after result of investigation is obtained.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for further work up.

Thanks and take care
