What is this lumpy knot in my back?
408583
My opinion: if it doesn't hurt all the time- try and get a 30 minute basic swedish massage- with attention to that area. Go to an experienced massage therapist though, usually they'll know what it is and if you need further help.  \nYou can look up muscle knots on the internet or read an A&P book for more knowledge what they are and what causes them. They basically happened because like you say you overstretched the muscle and it hasn't ever been able to relax on it's own.  Don't be suprised if they wanna do a glut.(butt) massage too- some low back problems start there. I know it's strange but it will feel better.

could be just a cyst, but go to doc and have it checked just to be on safe side

Have you had it examined by a doctor? Is this something you've had for a long time or did you just notice it? If it's something recent, have it checked right away it could be signs of something more serious. \n\nI would say this about any medical problem.

are you talking about a piloniadal cyst?  if so I have had this for years as well.  I had it removed and it came back and I have to have it removed again.  bloody sore ain't even the words for this pain!!!  I feel for ya if it is the same thing you are talkin about!

This happened to me once, only it was a bigger lump than your average pimple, and I didn't squeeze it like you did. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was more than likely a cyst caused by an ingrown hair due to irritation of the hair follicle caused by either too much shaving or shaving with a product that irritated my skin. She said that it would go away on its own (and suggested I not shave on that side for a few weeks to limit the irritation, which I heeded because I really wanted it to go away) and within about a month, it was all gone! If it seems like it's just a pimple then it probably is one, but if it's bigger than that it never hurts to check with a doctor!

It might be warts, just a guess tho.  Just one question what color are the lumps?

that first answer was great and hilarious :) does that guy even read the questions he answers?\n\nanyway, what this could be is either popping from your acetabulofemoral joint, your sacroiliac joint or your lumbar joint...\n\nor it could be any of the internal organs emitting a strange sound...\n\nit would be wise at this time to get an xray of your lower abdomen/pelvic area and see if all the structures are aligned and balanced... good luck

Hello there, I would highly recommend you go to another doctor for a second opinion.  Unlikly that the lump in your head is related to your testicle, get the doc to check that out too. \nGood luck, youll be fine

Not sure what the cause is, but drink alot of water and visit a massage therapist to work out the knots. If you can't afford the therapist, again, drink alot of water, and lay a hot pad on it. massage it yourself if you can, after the heat pad. Good luck!

Congratulations, you're going to have a baby!  lol\n\nBut seriously, do you do anything in your life that might inadvertantly strengthen your stomach muscles?  Are you a laborer?  White collar or blue collar?  As long as you're not lumpy, something indicating you have a tumor or tumors, don't worry about it.  If you can't stop worrying, visit your Dr. and get it checked out.

The problem with small lumps is that it can be a hundred different things. It can range anywhere from not serious at all to something serious. So, my advice to you:\n\nCheck out WebMD.com - You can put in your symptoms and run down a checklist and sometimes that helps. That's just your immediate action plan.\n\nAfter that, go to your doctor. It probably is nothing, but better safe than sorry, right?

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

It sounds like your cyst is infected and inflammed.  A cyst like that may need to be drained.  My wifes a picker...she would pick it.  if someone tries to "pop it", be extremely clean i.e. alcohol. benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid cream, and even tea tree oil may kill the bacteria and halt the infection.  My mother swears by tea tree oil on my fathers back.\n\nA doctor would "Lance" it or "drain" it and give you antibiotics most likely.\n\nIf you notice you are running  a fever...you may need antibiotics. Good Luck.

knots are just tension in certain parts of your muscles usually caused by stress

If it's just a knot, have a friend give a backrub focusing on the spot where it's located.  If you are seriously in pain try rubbing some icy-hot type cream into your shoulder and taking at least a partial day to just relax.  Try no to stress too much; it'll make the knot worse.

Could be a cyst. I would go have it checked out.

It may be a bartholin cyst, which is a harmless build up of fluid caused by a blockage. If it becomes painful and heaps bigger in a short amount of time, it might be infected so go to the doctor's straight away. If it doesn't do anything, you can leave it or go get it drained (ew, I know).\nIt might also be a trapped hair , causing a bump around it?\nGood luck mate.
