Hi all
Last year I had 2 health scares. As you can see from my other post, I just found out that the previous breast surgeon didn't take out the breast lump Because the new ultrasound and mammogram show the same thing (thanks god it's unchange over a 1.5 years)
Now because of that it made me question if I shall revisit my other health scare, a swollen area on and off on my shin they ended up with a surgery from the same Kaiser (health facility). So 6 months ago I had that area that was swollen up and down. Ultrasound and MRI show nonspecific mass which they think it is scar tissue but couldn't confirm. So I went ahead with surgery and he removed part of it and the swollen area. Biopsy turned out inflamed tissue and scar tissue.
6 months have passed and I'm fine. That area is not swollen and no longer causes me any issue. Shall I demand an MRI to check on the area to see if he really remove the mass they found on MRI or just the tissue around it ? I lost my trust after finding out about the breast issue I mentioned above. It's 2 different doctors but at the same health hospital. I'm telling myself that if it's sow
Thing sinister, it would have grown in 6 months. Since MRI said nonspecific and most likely scar tissue, I shall trust that (even if the surgeon committed the same mistake as the breast surgeon).
Can't believe one thing comes after another. Greatly appreciate your inputs. With health anxiety, I don't seem to trust my instincts anymore
