Worried

I have this bump/lump on my shin I think it's a bruise but it has been there for about two weeks sometimes I feel it sometimes I don't and I can't work out if I'm like making myself feel it or making myslef feel like my leg is aching if that makes sense. 
It doesn't move and is hard and about 3cm long I'd say it's hard to tell I've booked a gp appointment but I'm convincing myslef I've got cancer in my leg my appt is nearly 9 days away and I'm getting so worked up 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm sorry you are worried about a lump on your shin. Most lumps and bumps are harmless but it is always best to get this sort of thing checked out by your GP just to be on the safe side, and I see you have made an appointment.

    At the moment most GP's are offering telephone appointments initially but if necessary they will arrange a face to face appointment.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
