Lump lower right side of back just above bum

I have just felt a small grape sized lump on the lower right side of my back. It doesn't move around, it doesn't particularly hurt to touch itself, however the surrounding tissue is now quite swollen and painful to touch as I have been pressing around it. I'm very worried!!! Can someone advise if they have had similar. I suffer from awful health anxiety and this has sent my mind into spiral!

  • Hi More1995,

    If you have any concerns about this then the best thing would be to give your GP a call. They can advise and if they feel it's necessary to see you then they'll invite you in.

    Do try to avoid touching it as this can make it feel more tender, as well as likely increasing your worry.

    Wishing you all the best,
