Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue which can be lipoma or benign tumor.
I will advise to consult surgeon for clinical examination .
Bone scan may help for diagnosis.
Benign swelling giving rise to pain can be excised.

Osteoporosis needs to be treated adequately.

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
