Hi, Some of you who were at the Bude Folk festival in may were there when I discovered a large lump on my thigh. After leaving it for a few weeks to see if it went away, I visited my doctor, who, I thought, would suggest that it was a lipoma (fatty lump). Apparently it was too deep for a lipoma, is not a knot in the muscle and an Orthopaedics specialist has ruled out it being connected to my knee, hip (arthritis) and achiles problems associated with that leg. I have been x-rayed, and am now waiting for an MRI scan and some blood tests. I have been referred to another hospital with a unit that deals with lumps and have been told that it will be removed, as it is so large. its about 3" in diameter. It is not painful and I am not at present too worried. I will keep you posted as to what happens next, though when I had a TIA last year, it took 7 months to get the MRI scan done, and I only found out for sure that it was a TIA when I finally got the results in July (14 months after) !!!!!
Dont hold your breath!
Cheers, lucy
