Hi
This is my first post! I have suffered with Health Anxiety for a while, and after reading so many threads on here, I thought I should put a post on here.
I noticed a lump a few days ago whilst moisturising on my left shin a little bit below my knee. I prodded around for a bit, and now it hurts. I think it is a bit soft and it is oblong shaped. It isn't hugely big and you can only feel it if you are looking for it.
Of course, it is a viscous circle, and now I am convinced that I can feel more lumps and that my shin hurts, plus the dreaded google doesn't help. I am waiting to go back to university, so I am literally sitting here doing nothing, which I think is definitely not helping the situation. I really want to wait a few weeks and see if anything changes once I get my mind off it. It is taking all of my strength not to run down to the doctors now and demand an appointment.
Has anyone else had anything like this?
