While sleeping two days ago, I discovered a small lump on my left leg just above the knee and on the inside of the leg; then I forgot it. This morning upon rising a felt a slight tingling in the leg. Upon examination, I also discovered a small bruise at the knee, about 1inch below the lump. The tingling is not constant, but comes and goes. Should I be concerned?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. You have not mentioned if there was any history of trauma to the area. Presuming that there is no history of trauma, and you are not under any medications like aspirin, if I were your treating doctor, after clinically examining you in detail, I would go for some investigations like a complete blood count including platelets, ESR, Blood sugar as routine and a clotting profile. Further management would depend on the clinical diagnosis and investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
