Hello,
i have an unusual lipoma "like" tumor on my back that is causing pain in my back muscles. It shows up on an mri as fat, but it is causing pain. I haven't had a deferential mri done et however. It starts in the middle of my back, it is about 7 to 8 inches across and runs all the way down my back into the butt region. It would be very hard to find because it is flat. The only way I know it is there is because it has covered up my spine.
It is of lipoma "like" consistency, but is not protruding from the body. It is making the surrounding muscles go into spasms. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Several doctors have seen it over the last 4 years and have not even blinked at it because they didn't see it. Most people when looking at it forget that you should be able to see where the spine is. :roll:
the doctor I went to last week is really confused as to why no other doctor has seen it. Especially since I thought I had a back injury from the desk at work and have been seeing workmans comp. Doctors for the past 2 years. I didn't know that this thing was on my back. I mean, I found a lump about 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 about 4 years ago and was told it was a lipoma. But, this thing isn't acting like a lipoma or looking like one.
Any clues? :roll:
