[|Human|] About 18 months ago I was doing a ballet "plie"  (deep bend with knees going out to the side) in an exercise class.  I felt the ligaments in my left hip just go crazy.  I was able to walk .. just sore.  I now have a lump directly at the top of the thigh (the part that bends when you sit).  All my physicians have said it is a tension lump.  I am concerned.  It never goes away no matter how much a message it. Matter of fact it hurts more when I message it and it just gets irritated.  I also have lumps in my low back that I believe are episacral lipoma.  I am wondering might this lump in my hip be a lipoma or some type of hernia.  I have suffered many years with disc herniation.  My back, thought not the best, is doing ok.  I just have chronic pain in the front of my hip and also several lumps on the side of my hip.  I now also have some numbness in the hip.  I have suffered with sciatica before so I am very familiar with this sensation.  This is different.
[|AI|]  Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a lipoma, a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type) or a fibrous. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur.  Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
