You should have this evaluated by a physician.
This could be many things, getting the right diagnosis is critical. https://www.coxtechnic.com/physicians.aspx
This needs to be looked at and examined by a doctor.
Thanks for sharing your spine lump concern with the FATD community. I am sorry to read about this. I would be happy to offer you my thoughts, tips, and suggestions. It seems like this has only been going on for a few days. Therefore, stay positive that this will resolve soon. How did this lump get there? Were you working out or doing some strenuous activity? I am a bit confused as to where exactly the lump is, and how it can be affecting both your neck and lower back at the same time. Perhaps it is a muscle spasm. I would encourage some anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDS) or Tylenol after you consult with your medical doctor about the safety of these medications for you. Take NSAIDS with food and no alcohol, and if there are feelings of stomach pain, stop the medication. I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon.
I would recommend that you immediately make an appointment with your Primary Care provider, so they can biopsy this hard growth on your Spine. This will determine if the mass is benign or not. I hope this biopsy turns out well for you.
Probably nothing, but if it hurts you should get it looked at.
Most likely prominent spinous process. Would recommend seeing your primary
care physician and starting with xrays of the spine.
