MAN 52 YEARS OLD WITH VERY LOWER BACK LEFT LUMP NOW CAUSING PAIN

Hello,

For the last 4-5 yrs I have noticed a lump on my very lower left back (it's location in the back is where the trouser belt goes around).

It has got bigger and now it hurts, especially at night (sometimes even preventing sleep)

It is around an inch in diameter.

I would be grateful for your advice.

Thank you.

  • Hi Simon and thank you for your post.

    I’m sorry you are worried about a lump on your back and I can understand you wanting to find out more. 

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Symptoms can have straightforward medical explanations such as a cyst or lipoma. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to go  and see your GP. They will assess you and decide whether you need to go for tests. 

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards

    Tina
