Lump on back: Could be lipoma ( benign) , or a ganglion cyst though that is a rare area. But would follow up w/ dermatologist or surgeon as may need biopsy to make sure it is not something else. Muscle may ache from pressure of lesion but may be another entity as well, like strain, cervical spine issues, even sore throats , Be up to date on mammograms. f/u/ w /dermatology
