So, I have this stupid bump that is right on my jaw by my ear that when I open my mouth it disappears. I am pretty sure its been there for a few years now but for whatever reason I became obsessed with it yesterday. I do have TMJ and my ear hurts off and on. But I can't stop worrying about this darn bump!
So...I googled and came up with "partoid mass" that is benign but still has to be removed and can cause facial paralysis.
So needless to say, I am a wreck. Does anyone else have this bump? I can sort of move it around and squish it but it hurts after awhile. You can' see it or anything, I even had my fiance try and touch it and he doesn't even feel it.
I am starting week 2 of prozac and thought I was doing better and now I've freaked myself out and feel like I am back at square one.
I don't want to call the doc on this especially since its been there for years and I don't want to seem absolutely pathetic.
okay, thats my vent.... any thoughts? :)
