I have a small lump on the back of my right calf. Today was first day I noticed it. It is painful and swollen. And when I stand, it protrudes. I am diabetic on an insulin pump. I had mrsa, but am clear as of this past February. Should I be worried . No amount of ibuprofen or Motrin or Advil takes pain away.
