I have a lump (I wouldnt call it a hump I think) on my back. I got it a
few months after I got tm. It was very itchy and just to the left of my
spine. It got quite large (size of a hazelnut?) then I noticed it went
smaller and not as itchy. I now have another just under my right shoulder
blade that is very itchy. It started small and now is bigger. Not as big
as the other one got. My GP and neuro. saw them and just said they are
cysts. Like a big pimple that just didn't get out of the skin, so it got
bigger under the skin. They do not look like a pimple, just a lump under
the skin. Now, I don't like the idea of having 2 really big pimples on my
back :( and I have never had anything like this before TM. So, I am
contributing it to TM whether my doctors think so or not - they don't know
anything about TM anyway, so who says they know about these lumps on my
back? I noticed Dave said they are muscle. I don't know if mine would be
or not. Is your hump itchy or hurt if you lean back against a wall on it??
