Hi, 

im in a simimilar situation but my symptoms were quick to develop. I started off with one lump on my lower left leg a couple of months ago, I now have 5 lumps they feel hard and immobile to touch, although the doctor is convinced they are lipomas i have my doubts, the lumps have been continually growing and they have just recently started to feel painful to touch, I have severe fatigue some days I can’t keep myself awake, I feel nauseous all the time, my gp keeps sending me for ultra sounds but my legs are full of fluid, so am having another scan hopefully soon. Would appreciate any advice. As I’m a huge worrier too mostly down to the fact that all my grandparents have suffered from cancer, 3 out of 4 died. 

Thank you. 

This sounds very similar to my current symptoms first lump was found late last year and I now have five hard non mobile lumps causing pain that run down my shin bone. Have you had any results yet? I hope you don’t mind me asking 

I would be interested to know what the results were too. 

I found a lump on my leg yesterday its quite big. Having already had papiliary thyroid cancer any lump is always a worry to me but I try not not let it get the best of me. 

I'm going to see if there is any change on Monday and if not I will try and get in at my doctors. 

Hi,

Thought id respond to you all, thank you for taking the time to message me back too.

I had an ultra sound and a CT scan, apparently not lypomas or blood clots, or circulatory related. I saw two different types of radiographer too, i have a refferal to dermatology as they said this is the last resort for them to go down as they are completely puzzled. My appointment is in 3 weeks so will update you all, but my lumps are growing i now have another one, so totalling 6. Im no longer googling or researching as i have decided to not think the worst, when i messaged last i was in a bad place emotionally. I hope your all well, anybody else had any results or breakthroughs. x

Hi,

I have the same symptoms with the shin pain and lumps along the shin, however today I noticed another one on the side of my leg with  which is also hard and immovable. I’ve also had some extreme fatigue and my old healed tattoos (more than 10 years old) are also all raised. I’m curious what your results will be because of the shin pain that most others don’t seem to mention.

Hi - hope you don’t mind me asking but what was the outcome? My husband has discovered a lump on the top of his shin and I’m petrified

Hi I have just discovered a smallish lump on my lower calf . It was found whilst I was moisturizing my legs..I haven’t been feeling well for 2+ weeks with severe indigestion and nausea (I doubt related) I have never had anything like this before and absolutely painless. Unable to move it around. I’m quite worried will try and see GP this week.  

Hi there

I'm new to this site but have been reading all your posts about small lumps on shins. I have also found a small lump on my shin and went to see my GP today. I’m off work this week as I feel sickly and generally unwell. I only mentioned it to my GP while I was seeing him as it has started to worry me. He said he doubts my lump and my feeling unwell is related but is sending me for an ultrasound scan. I’m currently waiting for a date to come through for that. Has anyone got any updates on your appointments concerning your lumps? 

Hi there 

I was just wondering if your husband managed to get answers for his lump on his shin back in September as I have noticed a small lump on my shin recently and awaiting an ultrasound, I’m also very anxious.

take care 

Hi there

I was wondering if you have had any results back regarding your leg? My symptoms seem very similar but I can't find anyone who had a diagnosis

Cheers

Hey, I hope you all got your lumps sorted! I have discovered one on my shin as well, hard, immobile and a tiny bit tender to touch. I thought it's an ingrown hair but it's too hard and not painful enough to be that, so I'm a bit worried. In the current situation, I don't even hope to get any investigation done... Has any of you get any results back? 

I hope you all stay safe! 

did u hear back have have found a lump that slightly tender on my shin and im worried sick unable to sleep  cant see a reply to anybodys questions on here

I honestly don't understand how this site works. I've tried to post a response twice and didn't work. In case this one does, my lump sorted itself , it became bruised after a few days and dissapeared in about a week. Good luck everyone!

Hi, I am in the same situation as a lot of people here, finding one lump on my shin that started to get bigger, more painful, and multiplying by the week. I eventually went to the doctor after doing some research on them and my gp agreed it's something called "Erythema Nodosum". As far as I can recall she said it's basically the result of another infection in the body, in my case it was a chest infection. I think in total I had 7/8 lumps, but there's been cases of up to 50. They usually last up to 6 weeks but I've just hit the 6 almost 7 month mark and that's me down to just one rather painful one on my upper ankle. I had 4 different blood tests done rather than scans and that showed one of my levels which show infection was sky high. It was the most uncommonly done test as well that came back unusual. Anyway I hope this helps someone out there find some answers!
