Large lump at front of lower leg

Hi I am new to the forum and I have read a lot of articles from different people  

I went to my GP practice three weeks ago with a lump in my leg, at the side of my tibia. The GP I saw was non committal and didn't give me any indication of what she thought it may be. She decided to refer me for an ultrasound. 

Three weeks later I am getting a dull ache in the lower leg and my foot keeps going numb, so decided to go back to the doctors and this time saw a different doctor who is a Proffessor who took a completely different approach to the lump. He said it was odd and said he wasn't sure if it was attached to the bone or coming from the muscle. I was told to get an xray first thing this morning and he will expedite any further action..

Needless to say I am very anxious and will feel better once I know the outcome either way  

Anyone else in a similar situation ?

  • Hi av just came on here because of things that have happened firstly couple year ago my partner nd masel has a weekend child free so we took a night in edinburgh good night nd all next morning my problems started I couldn't walk stand pain in my lower legs was like they had just been chopped off anywho went to the doctors he had no idea what was the issue nd since then my lower legs have been stiff sore nd very uncomfortable ... nd this today has got me a little worried iv just found a lump on the front of my shin which is hard to press on no puss or any sort of liquid and also had a numb feeling when squeezed or pressed 

  • I thought I'd share that my lump in my leg turned out to be a lipoma. Basically a lump of fat on the shin. 

     

    If your leg pain and lump persists go back to your GP or another GP.
