    Is it muscle that has not been  reattached? That happened to me in op in April.

    Is it big and solid or does it move up and down when you press it?

    I reckon you ought to make an appointment to see a GP as soon as possible

      Hi alice.

      Been for a nap.

      Sounds like mine was. Not painful? Mine was like a bulge and looked ugly. Since my THR the surgeon (a better one) has put it right as a matter of course. Don't worry, it can be fixed in thst case.

    Hi Alice, 

    Welcome to our Hippies family --

    I don;t like the sound of having a lump anywhere and I agree with others to have it checked - it is probably nothing to worry about ....

    how are you doing otherwise?

    big warm hug

    renee
