For years (6 to be exact) I've had a lump on my lower leg. My doctor told me it was a lipoma, basically a fat deposit, years ago. It's only there when stepping or flexing and a new doctor at my school told me she thinks its actually a fascial hernia, basically my leg muscle has a hole and it pops through when I put pressure down, which makes sense to me. She told me to follow up with my GP. But now that I'm home I'm freaking out about this causing a DVT. Being on the pill, this was already a fear of mine and now I see a risk factor for DVT is inflammation/damaged veins. I have no idea if this thing is even damaging a vein or how deep it goes. But my follow up isn't till the end of August and I'm terrified and can't find any information. I need to be on the pill for other medical reasons so I can't just stop that but still this is one of my worst fears.
