Lumps in thigh - has anyone else had something similar?

Hi i noticed a lump st the back of my leg while pregnant just above my knee but brushed it off and then life got in the way now 17 months on its not grown or shrunk,  its hard and doesn't move but aches when being touched too much I have also since found 2 more deep in my thigh, you can't see then just feel then the ones in my thigh you have to really press down to feel. Im going to the doctors when im back from holiday in 3 weeks , im just seeing if anyone else had this, everywhere I look it says if its lipoma it should be soft but these are solid.

  • Hi Darkbutterfly and welcome to our forum, 

    I think you're doing the right thing in seeing the doctor about this in 3 weeks just to get some clarity on what these hard lumps in your thigh might be. The doctor will be able to examine you and look at these lumps and tell you more. Make sure you describe everything you have mentioned here to the doctor, the fact that the original lump hasn't grown or shrunk, that it is hard and aches when touched and also that you have found two more deep in your thigh and as you can't see them but feel them, it would be good for the doctor to examine those closely and it's great that you have a face to face appointment for that.  

    I hope that you will enjoy your holiday in the meantime and that another member of our community who has had something similar will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
