Hi all, I don’t really know where to start so i’ll try and explain my situation.

around about 3 years ago I discovered a small small lump which I believed was an inflamed lymph node with a separate smaller lump just below that, it worries me but I never did anything about it.

The next part could be completely unrelated but I thought I’d should mention it anyway.. fast forward to around 16 months ago and one morning I woke up with two fatty lumps in either side of my groin, it’s as if they had popped out and were extremely painful to touch, I spent the whole day off work asleep and the next day the pain had pretty much gone and the lumps had disappeared(the fatty lumps not the lymphs) at this point I thought I have a hernia so went to get checked, my GP felt my groin and prodded around for 15 seconds before saying that I’m fine.

fast forward again to around 2 months ago and I have had none stop pain in both of my legs, groin and thighs which more painful lumps appearing on both sides, the new lumps are much smaller than the original inflammation but hurt where as the original lumps have never hurt to the touch.

i have been checked again and had blood tests which have come back normal, I have a scan booked for the first Monday of September. today I’ve felt pain in my lower right abdomen and it’s very hard and very painful to the touch, I’m so worried and I’m unsure if I should wait for the scan or act now? I never go to the doctors for anything but I know my body and something doesn’t feel right.

i know this post may seem like a lot of mumble jumble but to be honest I just had to write my experience in the hopes of people sharing their thoughts and experiences, my partner and family keep fobbing me off and every time I try and talk about it they tell me that if it’s that bad I should “go to A&E” I feel so lost and it’s upsetting me.

once again, sorry for the rambling, I don’t reslly know what to expect from this post but I just feel I have to get this out there as I’m all over the place at the moment:(
