lumps in thigh for two weeks.

Thanks Susan for coming back.  I am still hoping someone will  say they had it due to medication or some such thing, and that it will go away by its self !  Hopeful, I  know , but I feel like I have lived at the doctors over the past year, so would rather not go again with yet another problem.  I will take your advice soon, but just need to work up the courage to go again, x

Hi Susan, yes I  am in the U.K, and yes I know it is a little wimpey , but  I am beginning to feel like a regular in the waiting room.  Sorry to hear about your scare and although it doesn't help you, all I can say is I sympathize and wish you all the best and know exactly how you feel.  It's hard to express that although we all greatly appreciate doctors and nurses, given the choice I personally never want to see one again !  Also, ;you are right  in that if my husband knew, he would be booking the appointment for me, but in an attempt to reduce his stress levels I just haven't mentioned this latest problem as it seems to be an ongoing catalog of issues needing treatment.  Oh for a healthy body, ! x

 

Hi Sue, apologies for delay in reply.  I have also been a bit naughty with meds (without telling the doctor) as I have cut them down so I only take a third of the amount and am now only on diclofenec and omeprozole.  The only reason I did this was because I was getting massive problems with acid reflux and an ulcerated throat, mouth and tongue and even doubling the stomach protector as suggested only worked whilst I did it.  As a result I decided to reduce and finally cut out all medication and try an anti-inflammatory diet (not going great with pain, but I will keep trying !  ).  Fairly sure that wouldn't cause lumps in my leg, but you never know..   Not much fun all these muscle and tendon problems is it.  

Hi Sue, now on nothing at all as have tapered out everything !  Not sure it was right decision as is painful and new joints hurt and are swollen that weren't before, but I will continue at present as acid reflux better and also dropping weight - result.  Lumps slightly bigger, but not much and only one hurts and even then only when pressed (so I'm not pressing it).   Cold damp weather not helping much, do you feel it more when weather changes too ? 

 

Hi Sue, finally addressed lumps and saw nurse today.  Great news, just fatty lumps and nothing sinister - phew.  Not doing so well with pain control and no meds, but like you said it is a juggling game, but may have to go back on them as not going quite as well as I had hoped.  Still, can't have everything.  Really appreciate your back up, it helps to talk to other people who know just how frustrating the whole thing is.  Keep well,  all the best, x
