Lymphoma? tumors? help!?!
Question: Lymphoma!? tumors!? help!!?
Okay, so I have had a lump on my neck for about 2 months now!. small, painless about the size of a marble on the right side of my neck!. It doesnt hurt!. I have not had any infections nor have been sick in a while, so I dont believe it is a result of an infection!. My husband is in between jobs and actually being the 'stay at home dad' allowing me to work and save on child care since I make more money than he does, therefore!.!. we no longer have insurance and couldnt afford to continue paying 700/ month for a cobra no matter how good the coverage was!.
Anyway!.!. here is my concern!. The lump has not changed, grown, diminished, nothing!. It has remained the same for 2 months!.
I now have a lump on the back of my left leg ( behind my knee)!. It is like a tumor, a lot bigger than the lump on my neck!. It is right on the vein/ muscle that enables me to bend my leg to walk!. Its painful!. the entire area surrounding it feels bruised, making it difficult to walk!.
Could these two be related!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

There's no way to know for certain if the lumps are related or if they are caused by lymphoma without a physical examination and biopsy!. However, its possible that the knee problem is different from the lump in your neck!. There is a relatively common knee problem called a bakers cyst, which sounds similar to your condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Lacyma, love ya, but don't be asking the question when you really know what the answer is!. Find a way to get it checked out!. Don't delay anymore unless you don't value your life, by all means I do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It doesn't necessarily have to be a tumor!.
You could have water on the knee or something else!. But if it's painful, that's telling you something!. The one on your neck could just be a benign cyst (boil) or sebaceous cyst, that could be checked by a GP/dermatologist (and removed/drained)!.
I really understand about the health ins situation, but there may actually be more affordable ins from your state!. I think COBRA is disgustingly overcharged, espec considering that you're getting it when you're unemployed! Like a person might have all that extra money to afford it---lol!!!
Sweetie, don't get yourself that crazed about spreading cancers!. Is there a family history!?--If not, don't get your self frazzled!. It doesn't metastisize that fast!. I lived with a fair sized tumor for a year before treatment--that was over 5 yrs ago!. However, do go and check it out to calm yourself!. If the cable bill has to be late or shut so you can go to the DR!. so be it!.
Also, try NOT to go to the ER b/c THAT IS expensive!. A clinic would be more affordable (a DOCS) or a Dr!. office--really! When I would go to the dermatologist I always had to pay cash--didn't have coverage, but no way was I going to the ER!.
For your back pain try and do some stretching exercises and some ab/obliques (side abs) work!. That will help with streching the muscles and easing the pain, but only if it's not swollen (I've had chiro stuff too--lower back)!.
I hope all this helps and you feel better!. You can email me if you wish as a follow up on how you're doing!.
Oh you can get some back exercise info on the net!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
