What causes dent in the lower spine?
Patient: Hi yesterday I noticed a golf ball size dent in the lower spine of my son I am on holiday will contact my gp on Monday still have a week before we go back home  I am very scared what should I do  is it serious  he is not in pain but does say his legs hurt when he stands for long  should I cut my holiday short and get back to uk Doctor: Hello, Thank you for trusting HCM.I dont think you need to cut your holiday, what you need to do is to watch out for him not fall or injure himself until he gets his physical examination by his doctor. Probably its not something that is progressive in nature in a week period, contact your GP on Monday for further discussion and reassurance.hope that helped.Dr. Nazzal
