Q: I Have a Very Painful Lump On My Lower Spine Near My Butt

I have this lump that has progressivly gotten larger over the last year, not it feels to be just smaller than a golf ball and extreamly painful. I cannot sit straight or on my tailbone at all and it hurts to walk. Could it be a cyst?? I want to go to the doctor but living in this wonderful country makes it almost impossible for a young person to live on thier own and have insurance. Any help anyone?? Please get back to me. Thank you very much...

Sincerly

you can always go to the .e.r.

they bill you and you dont need money up front. Plus, a lot of hospitals have finacial aid.

as for the lump, it could be something like a calcification, or as complicated as .Spondylolysis. My advice is to go to the emergency room and tell them its interfering too much in your daily routine and you need it looked at asap.

good luck and keep me updated!!
