LUMP ON BACK

I have a sort of hard moveable lump on my back near the kidney area I'd say left side. It's really worrying me It's been taking over my life since about 8 months ago and I'm starting to get drained from it all. I also have a sort of poking feeling at the left side of my belly button and it's making me worried it's all connected. Anyone got these symptoms? I've not seen a doctor yet because I'm so scared but everyone keeps saying it's a lipoma including doctors online but I'm not convinced at all

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Lumps can have straightforward medical explanations, such as a fatty lump. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to make an appointment to see your GP  to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

    Because of the current pandemic, it’s more likely you will be offered a telephone appointment initially with your doctor. After the consultation, if they feel they need to see you, they can offer you a face to face appointment.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Best wishes,
