A member asked:

51 yr old aunt woke with sore back. says one side of her back appears swollen. what could be the cause? what can she try to treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It most likely is a : Muscle in spasm similar to flexing or contracting your muscle in your arm like popeye so it appears large or even swollen. She even may have a scoliosis in her back that she is now noticing a "bump" or deformity since her back is hurting her attracting her attention to it. She may even have a spasmodic scoliosis.
