Hope this isn't too long winded...
About two years ago I noticed a patch on my right leg near my shin bone (not sure whether it's the bone itself) was achy. I worried about it a lot and couldn't decide whether the bone hurt or whether the muscle near it was twitching or what was going on. I used to feel my leg quite a lot for lumps and noticed the area itself was lumpy but no lumps on bone etc etc.
Anyway it went away or I forgot about it, until now.... It has come back and again I can't decide whether it's the bone aching or whether it's slightly to the side. It's midway down my lower leg and the surface of my leg feels bumpy.
Now since I forst discovered it I have had a baby and obviously was having blood tests all the time with that, FBC etc etc. Since having her I had a blood test about 6 months post natal, so about 6 months ago.
So my question is, could it still be something nasty or is this just something innocent beings I have had the same symptoms before and had blood tests etc etc?
The reason I am also bothered is because I have a lump on the top of my shin bone where it joins the knee on the other side which is tender if I touch it or kneel on it. It's not looking likely to be housemaid's knee but does sound a bit like osgood-schlatter (sp) but I can't understand why it would have appeared since I have had my daughter.
I am worrying myself silly that it's bone cancer etc etc as I have also had achy forearms in the past couple of days.
Gosh I hate HA!
