What Does Hard, Movable Lump Near Left Hip Bone Suggest?

i have a lump near my left hip bone. Im 20 i am currently on movicol, and have been to the toilet rather regally however the lump can be felt before and after, also it does not seem to change size or shape between these. I am also on levothyroxine as i have an under active thyroid and haven t had a period for pretty much all my life. I also get joint pain badly after resting just wondering what the cause of the lump is. It is rather hard/ spongey and can be moved almost it is rather round sort of like a meatball.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

I've gone through your problem of left hip lump and can feel this 'hard/ spongy and can be moved almost it is rather round sort of like a meatball' lump!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of hip lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     a bursa-like inflammatory / degenerative pathology like ganglion cyst

2.     The second possibility is of lipoma/neurofibroma-like benign lump !
     
3.     The last possibility is a large lymph node could be due to some local inflammation!

Therefore, it is possibly not a thing to worry but I suggest you to go for USG/FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
