A member asked:
After lifting heavy object i can touch a bulb in my mid-back. it is not painful, but i feel certain discomfort. is it dangerous? what should i do?

Nonspecific: Your symptoms are nondiagnostic but a muscle strain is likely and should improve after resting your back from further strain for a week or so. The bulb you feel is unclear but may be a spinous prominence of a vertebra.
