Hey Sharon,

That sounds sooo painful! I had a look with a mirror, and there was this big painful lump protruding out (about the size of a 5c coin i guess)... Still having the pain (espeically when i walk around if i have been sitting down for ages... Looked up some info on the internet, they say that it is often itchy around the lump area - which might explain it, but like i said, i have eczma all over my body, and was itchy there even before i got pregnant...

My mum and my nana both had varicose veins, my mum claims not som bad (i think they look terrible), and apparently my nana's were shocking...

Anyway, off to see a dr on friday after my last exam about this, so hopefully they will let me know what i have!

I've just been taking panadol for the pain.. and i notice if i lie with a pillow under my bum it also helps take some of the pressue off the area..

Thanks for all your advice everyone!
