Leg Lumps

[Watson]

Ok here it is

Left leg 2-3 inchs above the knee i found a reasonably hard lump, above it another hard lump
They are not noticable at all, internal and appear to actually be inside the quad muscle.
Size i would guess a medium sized grape,
No pain, and move with the muscle when pushed
First noticed them about 2-3 months ago, docs have given me varying amounts of bullshit from fatty tissue to muscle tears
They cause me no grief at all, but recently i felt a smaller one in my right leg also directly above the knee 2-3 inchs

Anyone ever had anything like this?
Someone told me it might be caused by an energy drink i was drinking here called "mother" (stopped already)

 

[Watson]

guess not lmao

went to docs today, going to ultraS them wed next week

ill look fooking funny at 6'7 with 1 leg

I have a few of these types of lumps under the skin over the muscle, hard, moveable, painless and don't really change in size. Fatty cysts, have the doc take a look, they usually do nothing unless they involve nerve contact and cause pain. Genetics my dad has them as well.

 

[Arnold]

sounds like some type of cyst.

 

[Watson]

sounds like some type of cyst.

thought about that also, but i had 2 cysts on my back, they were more like a pea under the skin (sounds gross sorry)
but these are harder, and are attached to something

yeah ive been told that by one doc
another said cysts like prince
last said its tears in lining and the muscle is poking out

the only concern i have is i cannot get a consistant answer
and i love it when they say "hmm thats strange!"

u still have urs tommy? do they ever go away or at least shrink?

I know not human related, but my Great Dane started to get these as he grew older. Took him in the the vets and they told us that it was fatty deposits/tumor. They weren't hard, but they held their shape and were easy to move with no obvious signs of discomfort to my dog when checking them.

All the vet said was keep an eye on them to see if they change in size, if that happened they needed to be removed. He did get a few more as the years went by, but nothing dangerous to his well being.

Oh yeah, he had these on the under side of his chest.

thanks for the advice guys, hoping its nothing much to worry about, lost about 18 pounds in the last few months, not that i was ever really fat apart from a pizza gut
didnt want this to derail the plans
wife hasnt had a headache in months, perhaps its working, or the neighbours are all away ahahahahahaha

 

[Ezskanken]

They are still there, just a little more noticeable when I lean out. The doc can do a needle biopsy to find out what they are. These are technically cysts, the fatty ones usually don't change size like the typical cyst Prince mentioned which can continue to grow.

 

[Watson]

had ultrasound this morning, fatty tissue, looks like not a cyst so hopefully they wont grow
pain in left hell which i didnt mention is tendon joins to bone swelling, if my doc could speak english better i might be able to understand him

 

[tommygunz]

Not to worry bro they don't seem to grow for some reason, but more may show up it's not a biggie. Heal pain or plantar fasciitis has many treatment options, braces,PT/stretches shoe inserts etc. the only thing that worked for me was Cortisone injections in the heel and yes they hurt.
