lump vertebrae

Though it is very difficult to diagnose a lump without examination, I will try my best to list the possibilities and explain how each lump is diagnosed. In some people the occipital bone at the back of the skull has a protuberance. This is a normal finding and comes up in X-ray. Another normal finding is a protruding spine of cervical vertebra due to bad posture, again detected by X-ray.

Even of I'd put my head on a curve of my sofa it would give me a discomfort on the back side of neck instead of relief. One day I begun rubbing my the back of neck, when suddenly I felt a lump (bump) on the side of T3. First I felt T3 bone - it was protruding (or at least I felt it that way). Later I'd found that bump. It deep inside, sometime painful, some not. If I bend my neck to the left side it will popping up and very much palpable.

Doctors- although i have been recently been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, i have developed different symptoms over the thast three days. Very painful *lump* on left side of back near shoulder blade point and moving horizontally to spine where the vertebrae are extremely tender and painful. about two in that area it feels like. i cannot sleep with the pain and SOMA and ambien are not helping. i cannot get in touch with neurologist at this time.

have a very sore hard lump at the base of my skull on the left side right next the tip of my spine , doctor thought it might have been infection and prescribed antibiotics. These do not seem to be working and the lump sees to be getting bigger. Feeling huge pressure from the back of the head.

I'm a 2 2y/o female. Last year I noticed a palpable lump on my lower back a cm away from my S2, its about 2.5 cm, and non-movable. I didn't think it was something else and neglected it. But lately, I felt another smaller one below it. Although it doesn't hurt, I'm bothered that this could be something that might potentially endanger me. I haven't gone to any doctors yeat but i would love to have an overview of what conditions could this possibly be?

Hello my name is Michael and i am concerned about a lump i have found in my neck, i believe its between C6 & C7 but not absolutely sure, i have had a dramatic increase in severe headaches of late, i also have periodic episodes which leave me disoriented and occasionally my hands spasm, i am unsure whether these are related but thought it wise to mention, I have been aware of the lump for two weeks now and it is not painful to manipulate but feels solid and out of place.

A few days later a large lump appeared with a faint yellow sheen on it. Within days a massive bruise covered 2/3rd's of my breast..I take warfarin so am used to this occurring. The bruise has all but gone now, but the lump is still there, still the same size and very prominent. I went to the urgent care centre today, hoping they might be able to treat the lump immediately if it was found to be a Hematoma which needed draining or anything.

If I squeeze it, the pea-sized lump turns white. There is a tiny black dot in the center of the lump, most noticeable when I squeeze the lump and it turns white. While I can't be certain of any causal relationship, the development of the lump started almost immediately after a particularly extended period of barbell squats in the gym. I got tired and rested the bar (inappropriately) on my neck instead of the top of the traps. It was painful at the time, but easier, so I persisted.

I have a lump on my collar bone close to my neck that is painful. I am not sure if this is the right forum to come to but I thought I would at least try. The lump isn't hard and the pain radiates up to behind my ear. It is more of an annoyance than anything. I was wondering if anyone might have any thoughts on this. I can't see my Dr until the end of July and more than likely it will be gone by then.

The pregnancy was complicated w/ a separated uterus, abrupted placenta, and a piece of my vertebra breaking off and rupturing 2 vert. My stomach never went out - it went back. I had a lam. 5 days after C-Sect (The baby is just fine). It's now 10 mo post op. I've been exp left rib pain under my left (non TRAM) breast. I thought I felt a small lump, but now I can't feel it. It hurts mostly when I bend or move. I don't know if it's the muscle tunnel causing the prob or lesions around it.

As I have been waiting to get into a rheumatologist, I have developed three hard, small lumps on my index finger on my right hand. It is super stiff and swollen still, and I'm super concerned about what is going on. My mother was diagnosed with Lupus about 10 years ago, but my ANA and RA were both negative, so could I still be experiencing symptoms with those tests being negative?

I have a lump too behind the ear on my skull...and went to the hospital and was told i have a inner ear infection and i had pains going down my shoulder also i was told you can have chest pains too as the lymph node swells and can press against your nerves and cause these symtoms.. Tge ear drops are to clear up the puss and antibiotics to help too..

Possibilities include, enlarged lymph glands, cysts, a small bony prominence, a vertebral spine (a part of the vertebra which sticks out at the back ) etc. Without the opportumity to examine the lump I cannot predict what the outcome of the examination but if it is not tender, inflamed or painful it is probably not anything serious, I hope this reassures you while you are waiting.

He was able to find the problem in about 5 seconds, that I had a really swollen area around my 10T vertebrae. I've been going a few times a week to see him, but something else is also starting to crop up. My central abdomen, below my breastbone, has been aching as well and it is constant. I thought it might be linked to my back pain since it is parallel with the pain in my back, but I'm not sure.

i get tingling and completely numb fingers at night (not sure if that is related) and i've noticed that the area around the cervical vertebrae and lower part of the back of my head ache like a dull constant pain.... i'm healthy, normal weight, dont drink alcohol, eat well and dont do anything to strenuous out of the ordinary. i would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. cheers and thanks!

i have small lumps in my muscle near my occipital bone of my skull 1 feels quite deep in... and the others are near my c1 vertebrae in the muscle which is quite close to the skin and the other is near my T2-3 vertbrae it sits on the fleshy muscle... they all feel somewhat solid, but they move when i push on them...i dont think they are glands because i read alot of medical books and no glands are located where the lumps are... are these lipomas? mesenchymomas? or do i have cancer...

I stopped the drug and the pain improved but it feels as if there is a muscle knot (lump) in my left arm on the outside between my shoulder and my elbow. My arm is in constant pain and I have reached the point where I cannot sleep a normal nights sleep any more. I have tried exercising but only discovered that my left arm is much weaker than my right. I am 65 and have damaged a vertebrae between my shoulders.

About a month ago, I went to scratch the outer underside of my R breast, and immediately felt like I had an extremely painful burn or scrape there...so I went to look in the mirror, and was horrified when I saw I had a purplish-blue "bite" like mark in the center of a lump.

got the results.....they just talk about the vertebrae and nothing about the lump!! Do you need contrast to see a growth???

She has terrible posture so I assumed that's why. The lump is hard and it feels like a bone rather than a normal lump. She tried sitting up straight with correct posture but it didn't smooth out at all, but when she slouches more it disappears? Is it really her bone protruding through her back? It's right at the top of her spine...she says there's no pain, her neck just feels tired every now and again.

I have a small, painful lump ,about the size of nickel, on the left side of my head towards the back. It is not getting any bigger. When I press on it there is string of sharp, shooting pain leading to a spot on the top of my head. It is the exact same spot every time. Wondering what this could be.

I also feel a lump around the area where my esophogus and stomach attach. I was diagnoised with Acid Reflux quite a few years ago and was put on Nexium. My question is the pain in my back related to my Reflux and should I be concerned about the lump. My doctor doesn't seem to be concerned.

down leg to severe pain behind knee. pinky is numb to slightyly numb. also feels like a lump is under my foot . no mater how much i feel it cant feel anything. pain is severe in knee when bent in sitting or driving position. after sitting for a while hard to get up and start walking.

I would make an appointment to see a chiropractor, they specialize in neck pain and after they take an x-ray, they will be able to tell you what is going on, if you have misplaced vertebrae in your neck, you will have all kinds of trouble.
