    so i'm going to the dr's today :(

    to get the lump on my lower leg checked out. I so hope she doesn't say the words biopsy, cause that will mean she thinks it is something

    I'm so friggin scared, I have a son to take care of, this lump has to turn out to be nothing!!

    hi ladies, well apparantly she thinks its a varacose vein, I just googled varacose veins and it doesn't look anything like that . I suppose at least she didn't say it was something bad.. but it definately doesn't look like a varacose vein at all. do you think i should get a second opinion?

    Its hard to explain, but this lump I have is kind of like a swelling that is about the size of 1/4 of a lemon, there are no bits coming and going in different directions like a varacose vein, its just one large, smooth swelling if that makes sense?? when I look at my leg at a certain angle, you can see an obvious diformity. You can't see any veins there either... what do you think? It does ache a bit and has been aching since sunday, like a dull ache.

    If you are still concerned and unsure about the diagnosis than getting a second opinion is a good idea. Hope you can get some answers
