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 !!!

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.

Hello Abreva,

Monday morning call your doctor and make the earliest appointment that you can;. Explain to the receptionist about your lumps.

I have these lumps about the size of a walnut. I saw a dr. several years ago and he called them floaters and said no worry. They can push on my spine so severely that I cannot walk ,sleep or move for several days. The Dr. gave me IBprofen, muscle relaxers and Vicodine no help. The best I have found is a tens machine that sends electrical shocks in the area and relieves the pain slightly for up to 2 hours so I can walk. Also my husband can move them away from my spine which gives momentary relief. What can be done and what causes them to flare up?

I have these lumps as well, I find they flare up after relaxing on the couch on a weekend and then putting in a hard days work, I think it is just lower back stress...

I hurt my back when I was in college, I don't even know what I did, just one day, my lower back just above the hip was in so much pain I almost could not walk. After a good nights' sleep it was better, but I was still in a bit of pain. I have seen a chiropractor which did not help. I have seen a doctor who just prescribed IB and muscle relaxers. I noticed a few weeks after that first day that there was a good sized lump there, like a muscle knot. Ever since then (10 years) it comes and goes. I notice it hurts the most after I have done an activity that I have not done in a while like ride a bicycle or gardening, or after I have slept badly.
I use Tiger Balm at night, and a hot pack on it whenever I am not moving around much, and do very gentle massage on it when it hurts, this seems to help. I was never diagnosed with anything with a name, that I can remember. Good luck to you all.

I have these lumps to, I have only had them about a week and just found the second one last night. my mom says they are probably knots in my back, but does anyone else have more info? They are about 1 in or smaller lumps matching on each side of my spine, the pain comes and goes and they are tender if you put pressure on them. I have tried Icing and applying heat, which helps but not for long. Has anyone's gone away?

i am only 18 and i have these lumps too, it could be fine all day and then i go to lay down to go to sleep and i get lots of pain and some times cant sleep all night, the bumps feel like bones and the pain is in my hole leg, and when i take a deep breath bc of strees i get this sharp pain for a cupple of seconds and about every min it happends. i try and massage it but it never helps. i went to a chiropractor and he fixed it, but then it came back, he said that i should strech more and thats about it, anyone have the same thing and knows what its called please let me know i cant take the pain anymore!!

i was 19 when i found my first lump and now i have 3 maybe a 4th... it nv causes pain and the doc said it was fat stuck in the muscle of my back. i didn't notice the lumps till after i started lose'n weight.. i'm hoping that if i continue to lose weight the muscles will absorb them as energy. here's hope'n.

Okay, I have lumps on either side of my spine. They are both very painful. I have been to many doctor's and they all tell me they're just Lypomas and they're not supposed to be painful. I had an MRI for it and the lump showed up, but they said there was nothing wrong with them. Yet they are still VERY painful. They effect a lot of my normal daily activities, and I don't know what to do. Every doctor I have been to just seems to brush it off as if it were "all in my head".

i totally know what you guys are tallkinga about. I have like 4 to 5 bumps in my back 2 in one side and another 2 that are kinda big and the last ne in my lowe rback. when i went to the docto she told me that i migth have escoliosis or rheumaotoids , . my simptons are : if im waling all of the sudden a sahrpe pain in the botton of my back apprears. then if i go to sleep the pain apears and starts to go trhough my legs . the midlle of my back really hurts . i cant even hold my baby for to long. i dont know what to do?

i also have these bumps on either side of my spine. i noticed them afterwork one day. i had a sore back and rubbed the spot and i had two bumps. started getting painful to sit down but not as bad standing up. i get lower back aches often right where the bumps are.so im in the same boat as everyone else. wondering what they are. a message therapist told me they could be fat build up on the muscle or scar tissue built up from the heavy lifting at work. im only 21 and have these things.

I am 26 y/o and have had these lumps in my back for at least 10 years. Over the past 4 years they have increasingly become more painful and have started to cause me pain in my legs. I also suffer from chronic neck pain and feel almost like my head is too heavy for my shoulders. I have been to my GP on numerous occasions and been prescribed Ibuprofen and pain killers. These have never worked. I had my final straw a few weeks ago, the pain was so severe that i went to my GP to demand answers. I have now been reffered to a rheumatologist and my appointment is on December 13th. I have the uppermost sympathy and respect for you all having to deal with this problem. I will share my findings with you and would love to hear of any treatment or pain-easing methods that you come across. Lets hope we all get our probles sorted. Take care all. Steve
