Hi. I woke up last week i think, out of the blue, with a lump on my abdomen above my left hip. like literally, above the left hip bone. I also had back pain in both flanks. Went to the doc, got tested for any infections via blood and urine, those came out okay. Was ticklish to the "poke" test where they poke your sides and what not. No pain. I was fine and jumpy as usual, haha. They ordered a CT scan. They found nothing (note, this was all in one night). I still have a weird swollen lump above my abdomen though. The pain on my flanks are nearly gone. But the swelling. Its the size of a fist maybe. It spreads to the bottom of my rib cage down to my hip bone. If there were any colors that i could reallly say it had, it'd be very very very light blue/purple but thats it. I dont remember doing anything strenuous or bruising myself. What can this be?
note - i am a 17 year old male. so i dont think it could be cancer or anything like that. i have been constipated so a friend of mine gave me an herbal constipation/colon cleansing pill that is gentle on the system. someone else told it could be a spider bite because i had chills and flu like symptoms, but it looks nothing like what a spider bite would look like. no pus or anything. so i have bentonite clay just to pull any toxins out, in case it were a spider bite, to get the venom out.

I notice you posted this over a year ago and no one responded.. Did you ever find what it was? I have the EXACT same thing.. Swelling on the left, one day I had flank pains, then it went away.. But the swelling is still there. Idk if my bady has been like this, and I barely noticed, but its been freaking me out. I have health anxiety, so I keep thinking bad stuff. But did you even find out what caused it? And is it still swollen? Or is it gone?

I have swelling over my left hip and a swelling on my left side/abdomen and lower left back. Had two CT scans that show nothing in the last year for the pain in these areas, but now also have these lumps. I’m 47 and have two tick borne illnesses. Going to try to go back to the doctor. One doctor finally wrote in notes about the back left sided lump. Lumbar spine MRI normal.

I'm experiencing pain and discomfort on my left front just above my hip bone. I'm also constipated. The pain feels better when I pass the wind. Do I need to see a doctor or go to the hospital?
