Hi and thank for posting

No one will laugh at you coming in to the surgery to get a lump checked out, as that is the advice that is always given. Irrespective of your other symptoms, anything that is unusual or different for you and especially with something like a lump ,would need to be examined. Though 9 times out of 10, the lumps do not turn out to be a problem, they still need to be seen.

So make the appointment and you can then also discuss your other symptoms with the GP - it is important you get the chance to go over these concerns with them - you don't have to feel unwell to go in to be seen.

All the best

Wanda

Hi Vixen79,

Don't worry about what others think, please get it checked out. I do have a similar issue to you and I am awaiting results - I have a hard lump on my left buttock, have had 2 MRI's and an ultrasound on the lesion I have. I have had issues with lower back pain and can't travel more than a couple of hours without intense pain. This is sitting on my sciatic nerve, and it can cause all types of symptoms. Let me know ow you get on, us people with buttock issues are rare! :-)

Hi Wanda, 

Thank you for your reply and I know I should go and see the gp, I just don't have a great gp that takes the time to listen, I went recently because of the Gynie symptoms and had a blood test which showed my FSH levels were fine even though it said they were raised in a urine sample. He totally dismissed my symptoms and said I would have to wait for my Gynie assessment at the end of November and just put up with the pain, so now I don't want to go back saying I have a lump now and it turns out to be nothing and he continues with the same view I think he already feels that I'm a hypochondriac silly woman, I will go though and maybe ask to see a female gp so I'm less anxious when I go. Thank you again for you advice.

Hi Songbird, 

Thank you for your reply and words of encouragement. I'm sorry to hear you are suffering so badly, and I hope you find you answers and hopefully treatment also. Yeah I have to sit on my left side for some reason the lump dosent hurt but if I sit on my right cheek it exacerbates the sciatica, pelvic and hip pain, it's all very strange! But as Wanda says I do need to go and get it checked I suppose I'd rather go and feels silly when it's nothing than it be something serious and not have told anyone. I will keep you updated and thank you again.

It's best to get something like that checked. I really think they will take you seriously, as you have something you can feel and it causes symptoms. Good luck!

Thank you
