I noticed 3 days ago in the car when I was rubbing the back of my neck that I had a "hump". It is right over my spine at the base of my neck, between my shoulders. I asked my husband about it and he said he saw it too. It mostly just makes me look thicker in that area, doesn't actually come out as a bump or anything.
So I've been looking at it/messing with it ever since. It doesn't hurt at all, but feels like fluid or maybe fat???
See, the thing is that I don't know if it's always been there or not. Maybe it has and I hadn't noticed it? I'm sure I would have though....
Maybe I was always built that way, but hadn't noticed it because I was thinner (I had a baby 4 months ago and still need to lose about 15 lbs). But I'm still not "big", I'm 5'2 and 132 lbs. I don't know why fat would accumulate in that one spot and not further across on each side as well. Although I did accumulate more back fat this time than in times before.
I'm just totally freaking out because I'm afraid that
a.) I have spinal fluid leaking and it has pooled there.
b.) I have some type of cancer and it is a "lump"
I'm more worried about a.) because when I put my head down and feel it, all I feel is the bone and there is no lump or anything. So it'd be more like fluid that moves?!
Has anyone dealt with something like this? My hubby says I'm overreacting and it's probably just a little extra fat in that area or something.
I can't see a dr. because I don't have insurance until August. So in the meantime I'm freaking out.
:scared15:
Oh and eye twitching...I've been having it quite often. First it was underneath my left eye (that started in my last month of pregnancy) and lasted for a month or so. Now underneath my right eye twitches on ocassion.
:weep:
