l have a small bump on the side of my spine. not really painful. should i worry?

Question

Lumbar facet syndrome on left side. Small rounds lumps that are movable in same area. What are they? Spine also has bump I can feel in bone.

Answer 1

Cannot say: without an exam, I can only give general information, but these are usually within the muscles on the side of the spine and represent muscle spasms.

Answer 2

Bp: Sounds like idiopathic brachial neuritis or parsonage turner syndrome. Course of steroids orally to see if can recover.

Answer 3

Many things: Spinal pain is quite common among adults, and several things can cause it. Morning pain and stiffness may be an inflammatory problem. See your primary doctor or consider seeing a rheumatologist.

Answer 4

ARTRITIS,UNSTABEL.: @ ur age without injury i would see and ortho guy. You may have some early arthritis or a defect in the boney structure that may give some instability. The best is 2 b cn examend and HAV x-rays t2 r/o these causes. He/her may recomend pt to learn core exercises or other rx 4 u.

Answer 5

Depends: Depending upon where the pain is it could simply be some mild arthritis either where the rib cage joins the spine or the small joints of the spine. It could also be related to the muscles of inspiration that connect the ribs. If the pain does not improve with some mild anti-inflammatories then an evaluation by your doctor is appropriate.

Answer 6

Back pain: For mild symptoms, muscle pains or degenerative changes are most common. If symptoms persist, you probably need at least some baseline xrays and doc to evaluate. If all negative, core strength is a start: pilates/yoga/piyo, nsaid's, salonpas hot patches. Mckenzie pt if no better but requires a doc's rx.

Answer 7

Tailbone: You may have fractured or dislocated your tailbone. This can be intensely painful and would fit with the mechanism of injury that you had. I recommend you let your doc know about the persistent pain and see if they would want any kind of imaging to see what is going on. Also, avoid sitting on hard surfaces and get a donut pillow to sit on to take pressure off of the area.

Answer 8

Couple possibilities: Depends what you mean by end of your spine. You may have injured your coccyx, which is a small bone at the end of your sacrum. If the pain is higher up, around your low, low back, then it could be a sacral dysfunction or sacroilliac issues, both would give you pain with bending over. A physical exam would be v able to isolate which issue it is and there are different therapies/modalities for each.

Answer 9

Butt fracture: When you fall hard on your butt, and the pain does not go away, it may be a fracture of the coccyx bone. Please see your primary and ask for an x-ray of the area.
