A member asked:
I have a lump very close to my spine. it's firm and if i press on it a little i get very dizzy. how do i know when to go to my doctor?

Immediately : Any lump that is close to the midline should be imaged with MRI in order to make sure that it is not in any way connected to the spine. A simple attempt at excision in an Urgent Care Setting could have disastrous results.
