Monday night/Tuesday morning around 2 am I was at the gym playing Basketball and took a small fall and landed on my left side along the upper buttock and lower back. 2 days later I woke up with a painful lump near the very top of the buttock crack. A ping pong ball size lump that s very sensitive if I lay on my back or sit back to far. Wondering if it d just one of those injuries that come with age or if it s something more serious.
