Hi,
I have at least 4 lumps on my hip/lower back - to the right side of my spine (if you are looking at my back) - they are painful if you apply pressure - I have had them for a few months now and they haven't seemed to change in size.
Should I get them checked out?
Thanks

Most of the time, soft, mobile masses beneath the skin are lipomas (benign fatty tumors). However, it is impossible to offer a specific diagnosis to patients over the internet.

Let your doctor have a look at these lumps.
