Soft pea sized lump in the cheek tissue

Eltxxx
Offline

Hi everybody. I'm 28 years old, female. I woke up this morning with jaw pain, and when feeling in my mouth I have noticed a pea sized moveable lump in my cheek tissue (at the back near my wisdom teeth). The lump is painless and moves about a little when I touch it. I have a doctors appointment in 2 days time for it to be checked out, but I'm so worried and suffer from  anxiety. Has anybody else experienced something similar?

  • Welcome to the forum Eltxxx although I'm sorry about the lump and pain you woke up to in your mouth the other day. That must have been quite alarming.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with something similar will share their thoughts and advice with you soon but in the meantime, I hope these articles on talking to your doctor and managing anxiety will help.

    Good luck for tomorrow Eltxxx. We'll be thinking of you and hope the doctor is able to put your mind at ease.

    All the best,
