I need advice

I’ve got a lump on my lower back some people can see it others can’t. My sister was the one who spotted it when I was wearing a tight skirt  back in August that 5 nearly 6 months ago.  It’s still there it still hasn’t disappeared.  I’ve been to 2 doctors they say they can’t see any. I know something is there cause it aggravates me some days. It’s soft so they won’t do any.  There is luekimia and cancer in my family dads side.

Would i be stupid to go back and get a third opinion

    Hello MessyNessy,

    I hope you won't mind but I have had to remove the photo you uploaded as we do not allow photos to be shared here for the purpose of diagnosis. However, if you are not feeling reassured after seeing two doctors and strongly feel that there is a lump on your lower back that they cannot see, it would not be a bad idea at all to get it checked again by another doctor. Do insist that both your sister and you have spotted it and that you know there is something there because it bothers you some days.

    I hope your appointment goes well. Do let us know what the doctor says if you get a chance.

    Best wishes,
