At certain times (e.g. after sitting for period or in morning when wake up etc.) can be restrictive to some movements till loosen up.
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bump that you have near the spine is likely to be due to a muscle sprain or a benign swelling like a lipoma. A direct examination and investigations like MRI scan will help in the proper diagnosis and further treatment.
