What Causes Severe Back Pain, Discoloration At The Point Of Pain With Sporadic Sharp Nerve Pain?
When I woke up this morning I had killer back pain. So I rubbed my back like I always do with morning back pains and it hurts so bad in one spot. So I quit and went on with my day. When my husband got home I asked him to look at it. There s a 3inch diameter circle of discoloration where the pain is and a small painful lump in the center of it. It s up against the right side of my spine. When touched it sends pain through my spine and hip. Now that I ve touched it so much I keep getting sporadic sharp nerve pains that goes to my upper back and hips like an epidural shot that I recieved during labor. What could this be?? There is no holes from a bite nor does it look like an ingrown hair.

Its an Inter vertebral disc problem of spine where some dislcoloration has taken place causing spot pain, lump and radiating pain.
Management can be done by knowing exact spot of such dislocation or reduction in gap or where radiation of nerve pain is originating from by having an x ray of AP and Lateral view of concerned region of spine or USG etc at Radiologist.
Medicine wise only ant inflammatory and analgesics is the solution for temporary relief. Traction, lumbar, sacral mspine band etc would be the right direction for long term management and some vitamines and healers.
At home front, you may start taking Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp in warm milk or water giving relief in pain and inflammation by natural properties of this herb.
Hope it is helpful
