What Causes A Lump In The Mid Back Beside The Spine?

Hi, I have a small Lump in my mid back right side next to my spine. Most nights it wakes me up with aching pain in that area , wraping around on right side. Been to my Dr, a couple months ago said it was nothing to worry about. In the mean time been to a Chiropractor, I think it helped sometimes. ? He was worried about treating me , my age is 55 He mentioned my neck should curve and mine is straight. I was thinking the lump could be on a nerve causing the pain. Last night the pain didnt come and its the pain is mostly at night. Going on for about 3 months . At night I do sit in bed and do stuff.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painful lump on the mid-back can be due to soft tissue swelling.
A MRI of the back is required to assess the nature of the lump.
Nerve associated lumps can common in the spinal region.
After MRI, an aspiration cytology of the lesion is required to know the probable origin and extent of the swelling.
Definitive management can be planned after knowing the exact nature of the lesion.

Thanks and take care
