A few months back while itching my leg I came across a small hard lump about an inch or so below me knee on top of the bone. I honestly didn’t worry much about it, I figured I would wait and see if it went away on its own as things were really bad with COVID and I didn’t want to go into the doctors office unless I had to.
A couple weeks back while shaving I notice the lump is still there, it’s grew in size, it’s hard like bone and doesn’t move. I called for an appointment to get it checked out which I had on Wednesday and when I left my appointment I was an anxious mess. My doctor felt it, said it was really hard and felt like it was either in or on my bone (on paper he called it a bone mass). He said he would order an X-RAY which I had later that same afternoon, a nuclear medicine triple phase bone scan and said maybe will need to do a biopsy. He gave me my orders and a follow up for 2 weeks.
Out of all the radiology places near me only two do nuclear medicine and they unfortunately don’t accept my insurance and so I had to schedule to have it done at the hospital. The first available they had was October 7th.
So, basically I’m now struggling anxiety wise because of course my mind goes to the worst possible outcome. I mean it gets seared in your brain, hard lumps that don’t move equal bad news. I don’t know how I’m going get myself through this without losing my mind.
