What Causes Painful Lump On Left Side Of Hip Area?

Hi, I have what feels to be a lump on my left side hip area, it is underneath the skin and only hurts when pressure is applied to it or if I bend in a certain way. I have noticed it for some time and I don t think it s grown in size. I was just if you knew what it could be? It might be useful to note that I have had a kidney removed on my left side and when I was younger I had a calcium issue. Not life threatening I don t think, it just meant my body would repair wounds rapidly with a build up of calcium cells. If you can help that would be great thank you :)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be either lipoma or lymph node in either of these conditions no need to worry bout this but condition needs to be kept under observation for any changes but chances of this is very less likely hope this information helps.
