2 Lumps In Lower Back
Posted: 03-26-05 16:11pm

I am just wondering if any else has this problem...

Below my hips and above my hips I have these two firms lumps one on each side of the spine. They are round and feel about 2cm in diameter. They are most noticeable when I stand up, and you have to apply a decent amount of pressure to feel them. If you press hard, they are a little tender. They have been there for at least a year (could have been longer but never noticed before) and they seem to be the same size.

I am a 23 year old male with no history of back problems. A couple of doctors said its just tense back muscle, but they never really pressed hard enough to feel them. They are almost as hard as bone and quite smooth.
Anyone else have these lumps? I am thinking of seeing yet another doctor.

Hey there,
yeah mate I have the same issue, I am 19 and had the nodules for about 2 years, originally I thought they came about from an injury but still only a guess, my oldman is a gp and has told me they are known as fibrosytic nodules or something, they are supposed to leave you if massaged, mine still live on !!!

If anyone has any other info about this problem please post it !!!

Back Lumps

About 4 years ago I was ina car accident and broke my hip. After that I noticed lumps like that. I heard it was normal. For the past few monthes i've been getting really bad back pain. Tonight it hurt really bad so I was rubbing my back and I noticed the lump on the left side where the pain is, not only is 3x bigger but now there are 2.

I guess i am a little late to follow up but i have the same problem. A matching pair. Both on either side of my spine in the lumbar region.No doctor ever said it was serious but they didnt feel it enough. I could pinch into my back and feel it like its a plum in my hand.

Good Morning Everyone,

PLEASE, each one of you go to your doctor and have him/her examine you for the lumps you describe. If no satisfaction, then see another doctor, and preferably a specialist. Either a spinal surgeon or an onocologist. Don't delay.

I wish each of you the very best, and do let us know how things go.

Take care.
