    Default Lower back-knots?

    I have two knots (they may be something else) in my lower back, one on each side, both a bit larger than the size of a quarter. I only discovered them after moving from Chicago to Las Vegas (3 years ago). They only seem to hurt if I stress out really bad. Should I get them looked at? I don't know if I should because I don't have health insurance & don't work often.

    get some sort of health plan and then get them looked at. or maybe just go to a massage therapist/salon

    I would suggest going and getting a massage. It will help you relax and you can get the knots massaged out.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    I'm a massage therapist.. if they're what I think they are from your description they're nothing to worry about. You can have them surgically removed but unless they are huge or overly painful there is no need. They're benign fatty cysts.. and I have them two, actually 2/3 of my class had them. Mine were larger when I was fatter and smaller when I was thinner - though losing weight is not likely to make them disappear. Mine hurt if you pushed on them, but otherwise were not uncomfortable.
