possible bit of tumor still in leg. wait or go to doctor?!
Question: Possible bit of tumor still in leg. wait or go to doctor?
I went to the doctor during the summer and found out i had a tumor in my leg and i had surgery to get it removed. Then in December i got surgery again because it was not completely removed. Its been two months and i still have a little bump at the very top. It sometimes hurts without touching it. Before it only hurt when i touched it. Do you think i should go to the doctor to get it checked out a again or should i wait a little longer because it might just be that it hasn't healed completely. Oh and the doctor said it wasn't cancerous yet. He said that if it had stayed in there it would have turned into cancer, thats why im worried.

You better take second opinion from other Surgeon.

Well, after surgery it's normal to hurt, but if the doctor couldn't take it all out on the first time, he might as well not have taken it on the second, so you should see him again.
You probably have scar tissue with sensitive nerve endings.
I have had that with my surgeries. Give it one more month
if still there go back to doctor.
You should see your surgeon for a followup visit to check on the excision site and see how it's doing. Give him/her a call.
