Q: Lump On Spine Area

I have recently noticed a protrusion to the right of my spinal cord on my lower back area. Is this a cyst or what could it be? I don't have pain as such but I do feel it there and sometimes, I get pain down my right leg as a result or lower back pain for a few seconds.

Anyone with information on this, please let me know. I have not gone to my doctor as I know that I will be sent for xrays and I don't want to start a whole process that I don't really want.
