Hi there,
I've not posted on here in a long time, years in fact. I've had my HA under control up until about December time. I have since started to get help again with it as soon as I started to notice I was getting bad again. My latest concern is about 3 weeks ago I could feel a lump on my shin, since then I've poked and prodded it so it's obviously become hard and inflamed. I stopped doing that, stopped thinking about it for a week and started doing it again. At that point I worked myself up that much that I started googling and of course, it came up the worst which resulted in a panic attack. So Friday I went to the doctors and he felt it and didn't seem concerned at all and told me it was nothing to worry about. He said it's most likely a lipoma which is a fatty lump. And I do have something similar on the other leg because he felt it.
I believed him for around about 10 minutes :weep: I got home and started to panic once again. I'm trying not to touch it to see if it does going down. Originally, when I first discovered it I thought maybe I had knocked it which resulted in a lump but like I said it's now been 3 weeks and surely it would have gone. I also couldn't feel anything on my other leg hence why I do not believe him.
Has anyone had anything similar? And should I go back and see someone else or am I overreacting? Because I'm still basically losing my mind over it. It's the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of when I go to sleep it's been awful.
Thank you,
