Good evening Dr. Grief, are you for real? I have been having pain and tenderness on the back. Approximately 3-6 inches from the side. It is tender to the touch and I notice it even when I am simply sitting or standing, primarily when sitting. When I touch it feels tender and possibly hard and lumpyish.Waist level. I am a female, 51 years old. Unaware if this is significant I believe I am perimenopausal. Without a period for 50 days and no worry about being pregnant.
Hello Good Evening, According to your description, you seem to have a Lipoma at that site, which is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue (body fat) and common in your age group. It is the most common form of soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless. But you find tender, possibly because of its site. In the management part you should go for Excision and Biopsy to confirm diagnosis and definitive treatment. Regards.
