Hello, I am 43 years old ( Femlae) I had a bad fall 19 years ago breaking my back in two locations... I have developed these large ( excrutiating painful) lumps in my lower back. I have had them treated with lidocaine and steriod shots which seemed to make them worse. I have been to so many Dr.s over the years about my back pain and they all say Lipomas shouldnt cause that much pain. I am certain that 90% of the pain I am feeling are coming from these large ( fist size) lumps near my spine. Am I crazy??? Or can these really be causing this much pain? My cureent Dr. says he beleives me but is not sure what to do? any answers ????Thank you, Tam
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma.  Or you may have some other tumor mass.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
