I have had back pain for several years and am only 23 years old. There are 4-5 moveable "nodules" on both my left and right sacroiliac regions, and my PCP thinks that they are "back mice." Who should I see to have them removed? Also, is it safe to have them surgically removed?
What Kind of Doctor to See to Remove Back Mice?

Never heard of this. I would recommend a new pcp to begin with. Can't make a treatment plan without an accurate diagnosis. After the diagnosis, go from there.

Sounds like you need to go see a new pcp. I am unaware of the term back mice or what the diagnosis would be. It sounds like from your description that you may have some lipomas on the back. You first need to determine what the nodules are either via exam or biopsy and then upon a proper diagnosis you would look into proper treatment. I would love to have a follow up on this one if you have time please send a note via my email or website. Best regards!

I have never heard of this term. It sounds as if they may be lipomas or neurofibromas. You may need radiographic evaluation and a biopsy prior to definitive treatment. I would recommend a plastic surgeon or general surgeon first.
