A member asked:
I recently discovered a lump on the right side of my l4, it's very painful and now i m even experiencing numbness on that side, what could it be?

See a Neurologist: Usually a painful lump that you can see or feel in your back is due to infection or inflammation if it has appeared within last few days. In any case get it checked out by either tour pcp or neurologist.
