I know I'm supposed to go straight to the doctor but because of the global pandemic, all the doctors' clinics have been suspended here in my city until further notice.
Our city went on lockdown last week week so I just stayed at my place to prevent the exposure or spread. I was watching Netflix on the sofa in a tuck sitting position (folded my knees towards me) then I noticed the lump on my right kneecap (upper part of knee). There's absolutely nothing there on the left one.
If I stand up, it's not visible. However if I search hard enough for it, I can feel something there.
It's hard as a rock, half the size of a golf ball, not movable, feels smooth, almost rounded? It doesn't hurt. I don't think it's a cyst because it's not soft.
I'm scared it could be the big C of the bone. I know this kind of C is super rare (less than 1% cases) in adults (I'm 29, male) but I still feel scared. Worse, I can't go to my doctor or a specialist because all clinics are in lockdown except for emergency cases.
A part of me wants to think that this is just a prominent bony part of my knee, but with HA, I am going crazy.
Can someone please tell me how to cope until our clinics here are open. https://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 It might take another month before I can have access to outpatient services so until then, I don't want to drive myself mad. https://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
