Lump on leg

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a new problem now that I was wondering if anyone else has. I have

developed rather quickly a bony lump on my lower leg. I just noticed it

yesterday, that is how quick. It is about the size of a nickel and doesn't

hurt.

I am wondering if that could be why I am sleeping so much. Anyways, if

anyone could help, please let me know. I am gonna go see my doctor this week.

Jen,

Where on your leg is the lump? Sometimes protuberances occur where

muscles implant and is often very benign. I have one on both legs just

below my knee due to tension on my patellar tendon from exercise.

No this lump is halfway down the front of my calf and it is definately a

bone. It just appeared in 1 day and part of it feels kinda pointy. I know

this

sounds strange but hey, noone ever said I was normal.

I have the exact same bump. Definitely a bone and I have had it for at

least ten years. I always cut it shaving my legs...just an annoyance!

I have a protrusion at the site where I broke my left leg. It looks puffy and

my first thought was it might have been a blood clot - really scary - but then

when I fell last year I feel like I might have refractured at the same area as

was broken in 1994. I didn't go to doctor (as usual since in scooter and not

walking anyway),my whole calve and foot was numb for almost a year.

When I went for my yearly MDA visit they took an Xray and said alot of calicum

there couldn't tell if it was old fracture or new that was healing. I'm just

now getting some feeling back but I have that small little protrusion. So, what

are we to do? I guess nothing. Then, didn't pursue it either. So I just

accept it.
