lump

Avatar f tn About 30 minutes later just below my knee started to throb and swell. I now have a lump about 2 inches below my knee cap and it is swollen and extremely painful. It is warm to touch and slightly red and bruised. It is very painful to bend my knee and it hurts to walk. Could I have torn something or broken something? I’m very worried as I am a very busy wedding photographer. Please help. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I would worry about a blood clot too since your leg is swollen and the lump too. Is the lump or leg painful and/or red? I would see a doctor about it. They should also figure out if the swelling in the legs is due to a clot or bad circulation or if there is an infection going on. Since it is on both sides It may be something else.
Avatar n tn I'm 22 years old and some time ago, I discovered a lump about an inch above my penis. I'm not experiencing any pain from it, and it's not noticable to the eye. However, I'm still concerned. Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn About a few months ago I noticed a hard lump that was noticeable by touch below the skin of my pubic hair, above the penis. I left it alone because it didn't hurt and cause discomfort but today it started bleeding and something like a mixture of blood and water followed. Today a lot of blood came out and it is noticeably swollen red through sight and soft to the touch, and pain is experienced only if a large amount of pressure is applied directly on it.
1417063 tn?1282107664 t walk on it so my mother got washing soda in a pillow case and wrapped it around the knee overnight, in the morning the washing soda was a hard lump and my knee had this powdery stuff on the skin, but the knee was markedly smaller, after three days of this the doctors were able to operate, I thought it was my mother being weird - but it worked and several friends have now used the system on their swollen joints.
Avatar n tn On January 1st I felt a tender/painful lymph node under my jaw, on the left side. The following day I discovered more swollen (but not painful) lymph nodes in my neck/jaw region. The lymph node was painful for 2 days. On January 5th I discovered swollen lymph nodes in my armpits. One lymph node, on the left side, was painful. The pain went away in 2 days as well, but they're still swollen like the ones in my neck/jaw.
Avatar f tn Then I felt it move down and disappear but then I had a horrible pain at the back of my leg just above my knee and now it really hurts behind my knee?
Avatar f tn The bigger moving lump may be your bursa. It WILL move. Does it hurt to kneel on your knee for more than a moment? You could have a cyst, a tumor (don't panic, often benign), gout. These all could also cause lumps in that area. https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/bones-joints-and-muscles/knee-lump I think that if it isn't causing you any discomfort, I'd schedule a physical for sometime in the future and mention it then.
1288586 tn?1271904161 the other day my friend noticed dried blood behind my right ear. not sure if i nicked my skin or something, i don't remember doing it. but now it has swollen up and hurts a lot on and around the lump and i am having pain in my ear canal also. the lump is a little bigger then a pea. i can't see it, since it's along the bone behind my ear, so my fiance had a look at it and says it's red and looks infected.
Avatar f tn the PT says its because there is still fluid, but he wants to send me back to my ortho/surgeon due to the fact that the fluid build up should not be there. My whole knee IS NOT swollen, just that lump where the fluid is. I did have a patella release 20yrs ago on that exact same spot my fluid is building up. Again,the fluid build up is not where the surgery holes were done.
Avatar f tn I am only 15 and I have a lump above my vagina, just below my underwear line. it is hard and is ball shaped. It appeared yesterday and I thought it was just a swollen vain, but it has gotten much harder since then. what is it?
Avatar m tn (Near my groin) The next day I noticed another lump further down on my leg. The day after, the lump lower down on my leg had gone but the lump in my groin stayed. This lump was very sore at first. Weeks went on & the pain went away. It was just a lump. decided to get it checked & I had the following checks: 1. Ultrasound to check what is - Confirmed an enlarged Lymph node. (2-3cm) 2. needle biopsy.
Avatar f tn I am a 50 year old woman, I found a large lump that popped up suddenly on my right leg, just above and to the right of my knee. It is not painful. It is not soft like a lipoma. I am scheduled for an MRI but not a biopsy. According to all of the information that I have read about this, it is likely a malignancy. It is currently the size of a cherry tomato and when I am in a squatting position where the muscle is engaged, it protrudes.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have this massive lump above my left testicle. It seems like two peas. I would say it feels like a little squiggle. I got an ultra sound a long time ago and I think i might have been diagnosed with a cyst in my epididymis. But this lump doesn't feel connected to the left testicle. A lump the size of a pea is above my right testicle.
Avatar m tn I was doing knees to feet jumps and pretty soon afterwards I noticed a soreness on the back of my leg right above the knee. When I inspected it I felt a lump. I tried doing some research and thought maybe it was a hematoma or something, but I'm not sure. There is discoloration where the lump is. The lump is still there and has been there for a couple weeks now. It is not that sore just feels hard and it does not bother me when I am moving my leg around.
Avatar f tn Do the WBCs count get higher if a lymph node is swollen, does all swollen lymph node remains swollen for whole life?
Avatar n tn the next morning i couldnt walk on it the it gradually got better through the week then i went to a skatepark yesterday and when jumping off something it came back it wasnt fully healed yet anyway but it is swollen about 1/2 the size of my knee cap and hurts when i squat, or do things that put pressure on it. Its a hard swollen knot.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a lump under my collar bone, more towards my shoulder. It has been there for about a month and doesn't seem to be going away. I does not hurt. What could this be?
Avatar f tn All above is still happening however, I am now having swollen legs and feet, like very swollen, hard to touch, swollen hands. Severe pain in my lower left abdoninem, and aches and pains in my joints (knee, ankle, wrist, elbow) as well as upset tummy. If anyone knows what this could mean please write a post to me. I am going to the clinic tomorrow! Unless it gets even worse and I find a ride to the ER tonight!
Avatar f tn Teak, Any idea on above sir?
Avatar n tn Then I noticed that the leg had an indent and a rather larger wouldnt say lump, its more of a swollen mass above knee about 3" and goes across the whole front of the leg maybe about 3". It feels rubbery but does not move, it moves with the skin. Dermatologist thinks its Lipomas? I thought lipomas were smaller and taller ball like tumors, this is more like a mass. Should I be worried. And why would I get two at the same time?
Avatar n tn the most I can bend is like 90 degrees, after that, I feel a bad pull in my quadriceps muscles. My quadriceps muscles have swollen just above my knee cap. There is no color or pain. It is just that I feel a bad pull when I bend my knee, its swollen, difficult to walk because of the knee bending problem, there is no pain on the swollen part, but it hurts my quadriceps muscles when I try to bend my knee. Please give me a solution to this problem. I will be more than grateful.
