About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a lump under the skin of my inner thigh, approx 2 or 3 inches above my knee.
The lump felt hard and couldn't be moved easily.
I went to see my GP, who said it didn't feel like lipoma and it wasn't a cyst.
She said she felt baffled as its not like any of the lumps she she's on a regular basis.
She measured the lump and said it measured appro. 4cms x 3cms.
She had to press firmly, as the lump isn't raised, its below the skin and you can't see it, you have to feel it.
She left the room to go and speak to another Dr about it.
When she returned she said she didn't want me to be alarmed, but said I needed to get an ultrasound to check out what was going on. She said I'd hear from the hospital and be seen quite quickly.
That. Was 10 days ago. I received my appointment today and its not for another 17 days.
I'm really scared. The last 10 days have been awful.
One minute I'm fine and really positive, thinking it'll be nothing serious, but then the next minute I'm positive it'll be bad news.
I can't stop feeling for the lump either. I'm constantly rubbing the area, to see if the lump is growing. I think it has, but only at one end.
When I feel the lump, it's really firm and feels like it goes deep into the tissues of my thigh.
I'm worried, as the Dr seemed to rule out lipoma and cysts when she examined me and I'm left worrying what else it could possibly be.
The next 17 days will be unbearable.
Could anybody offer any advice or similar stories and what their lump turned out to be?
Thankyou in advance xxxx
