Hello,
Going through a stressful time at the moment. 21, pregnant and worrying about a lump on my thigh.
I noticed it it about a year ago, running my hand across my thigh you can feel a bump— not something you can see very well unless I’m tensing my leg. It’s not painful, I can’t really tell how big it is as it just feels like part of the muscle (defo not though as other leg is fine.) I went to the doctors when I first found it, and she was unable to feel it, even though I could so she told me to come back when it’s noticable.
Well I don’t feel like it’s got any bigger in the time since. You can still feel and slightly see it from the side. So I got her to check it out again, she didn’t really say anything— to be honest it looked like she was having trouble finding it. She has referred me for an urgent ultrasound to get it checked out, which can be a 6 week wait and now I am left worrying.
When I questioned her about it she said she suspects it a fat lump but I don’t know how she can make that assumption when she looked like she couldn’t even find it?? :confused:
when lookign at lipomas online they look more round and defined, mine looks and feels like a bump and deep rather than under the skin. I can’t help but worry when I google things as it just floods the pages with sarcoma. I know it’s very rare, and most lumps turn out to be nothing but I’m very scared and feel awful about the wait until I find out what it is. :cry:
Sorry if I’ve not posted this in the right place!
