What Could Hard Growths On The Back Suggest?
I am getting hard growths on my bones on my upper shoulders. My right shoulder is worse than the left. What could they be? Also I have slightly moveable large marble sized things inside the dimples on my lower back that swell up all the time and cause pain. What could these be??

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue or bony benign swelling.
As swelling is not reducing I will advise you to further investigate for the cause of swelling.
I will advise you to do MRI and CT scan Ultrasound of the swelling.
If its collection or benign mass it can be excised.
So you may need blood investigation.
Till time you can take anti-inflammatory and antibiotic if infection is suspected.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
