Lump on right hand side of skull

Hi all,

Not really sure how I'm feeling right now. 

I've found a lump on my skull. It's at the base on the right hand side and is say its about the size of an almond.

The area is sore and it's definitely uncomfortable. 

No redness or anything.

For awhile I've had really bad short term memory issues - not sure how long as I can't remember!

I keep getting dizzy, I get ear ache and a burning sensation. My eye site and hearing has also changed. 

Now I've found the lump it's making me very worried about what's going on as before I didn't think anything of it all. 

The lump is hard and not moveable and it feels like the area is raised and then there's the lump. 

Anyone have anything similar or going though something similar?

My gp has sent me for a blood test and I'm just waiting on the results.

Thank you! 

  • I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been experiencing and the lump you've found recently Dropjupiter but it's good you consulted a doctor and tests have been carried out to find out more.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar will get back to you soon but I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
