The lump the size of the plum is right above where they would draw blood and other lump is right below where they would draw blood. They are hard and painful and never receed causing my bicep to always be partially flexed.

My friend had benign tumors that grew in her arms. Go see a doctor!

This is not a diagnosis.  It's possible that the lump is a swollen lymph node -- the location is right.  If you can't afford to see a doctor, there's not a lot you can do except wait it out, try to take good care of yourself and hope that whatever your body is fighting off loses.

All lumps are not cancer. That might even be a small hydrocoele(fluid in your ball-due to trauma) Sometimes even a lipoma or sebaceous cyst may be there Dont worry about the terms though tey may appear terrifyng they are benign.Go to your surgeon . They would let you know

Lumps can be benign or malignant tumor, inflammation, infection or reactive changes from injury.  It is important to know whether it is superficial, deep, soft tissue, bone or spinal cord related.\nX-ray, CT or MRI should help with the location.\nHigh white count could be due to reactive, inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic process.  It is important to know how high the white count is and the peripheral blood smear should be reviewed for the presence of tumor or immature leukemic blast cells.\nHypokalemia or low potassium in the blood can be due to when the body releases too much potassium, such as through severe vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating during intense exercise. It also can be caused by a disease that affects kidney function – the kidneys may excrete too much potassium, or may not be able to match their output to the body’s potassium intake. Diseases that can cause hypokalemia include Liddle’s syndrome, Cushing’s syndrome, Fanconi’s syndrome, and Bartter’s syndrome. Certain drugs called diuretics increase the body’s urine output, which can also cause hypokalemia. Hypokalemia can be caused by overuse of laxatives; by eating disorders such as bulimia, which involves self-induced vomiting; and by prolonged fasting and starvation. Although it is less likely, hypokalemia can also be caused by not eating enough foods that contain potassium, and by eating too much licorice.\nI don't think all the things your sister has are specific.  She needs to go through the usual history, physical, lab, radiographic studies and possible biopsy of the lump.\nThe good scenario is the lump is just superficial related to benign skin or fat tumor.  If it is the bone, you have to worry about infection and tumor.  The tumor can be primary or metastatic or spread from somewhere else.\nBest of luck.

Yes, you can lie down if you request it.\n\nThey will tie a rubber band around your arm at the bicep.  This causes the veins to swell a bit, making it easier to find them.\n\nThey will insert a double ended needle into the vein and then put a vacuum tube on the other end.  It will fill with the correct level of blood.\n\nDepending on what tests the Doctor ordered, they may fill several of these tubes.  The use of the double ended needle means they only have to poke you once.  They may ask you to make a fist.\n\nAbout the time they are done they will remove the rubber band.\n\nYou get a cotton swab and then a small band aid and you are finished!

I think probably when you hit the knee it caused a blood clot to form under the skin which is common in bruising,and that swelled into 2 pea size lumps.Try taking some extra vitamin C,and if the swelling doesnt go down within a few days you can have it evaluated by a physcician.

The problem with small lumps is that it can be a hundred different things. It can range anywhere from not serious at all to something serious. So, my advice to you:\n\nCheck out WebMD.com - You can put in your symptoms and run down a checklist and sometimes that helps. That's just your immediate action plan.\n\nAfter that, go to your doctor. It probably is nothing, but better safe than sorry, right?

you have a lump the size of a lemon and you're asking here what to do?\n\nGet to a Dr whom you trust.  Second opinions are not for nothing!\n\nIf your parents are not terribly concerned, but you are, see your school nurse and let her help you decide what to do.\n\nBest wishes.

It probably IS nerve damage or nerve pinching of some kind. The fact that the pain travels up your arms reveals that. I'm no doctor but my father is a chiropractor (some don't believe in chiropractors, I know). We have patients with pinched nerves all the time, though it is almost always starting in their low back and going down to the legs. Starting in the hands IS odd, but it sounds a lot like the cases we have. We have had a few cases similiar to this one, but chiropractic cannot do a whole lot for it. Ultrasound is our main therapy with some adjustments the Chiropractor does.\n\nMore information is obviously required, as I have no idea your age or if you have even seen a doctor about this (I would assume you have, but if you have not, GO SEE ONE!), and the fact that I am NOT a doctor. Also, you say no weakness or tingling, but how about numbness?\n\nWhatever it turns out to be, I hope you find an answer and a solution!

it could just be an acid bump. you get them from eating too many acidic foods. have you eaten a lot of fruit lately? Or salt, that does it too. I feel for you, if it is an acid bump it usually hurts, especially when you bite it!

where do you have the lump?

More then likely it is a lymph node.  I have them too and my doctor said it isn't a big deal.  It may swell or become painful if you have a cold or some kind of bacterial or viral illness.  Don't worry,  you'll live!

Mild pain or tenderness in the breasts is usually associated with menstruation or pregnancy. Pain does not normally indicate breast cancer, however, there have been some cases where it has. I'm not trying to scare you, but you should always be aware of your body and any changes you find. Usually, painful lumps are known as benign cysts, and generally are nothing to worry about, they will go away. If you discover a lump that moves or is stationary, and there is no pain, please, please, please get it checked by all means. My sister-in-law died 2 years ago after she found a lump in her breast. She had a 3 year battle with cancer and lost. She was only 36. Don't smoke, keep drinking down to a minimum and live healthy. I am currently getting checked for a lump I found, and I'm a non-smoker, so always be on the safe side. I know it sounds scary, but if you keep up on your health, you can always find things much sooner than if you ignore it and the sooner you catch things, the better your chances of beating it. Don't get so scared that you don't go. Getting checked can save your life. While you are fairly young, it's never too early for breast screening. Take care of yourself. :)

It's propably nothing to worry about. I have one such lymph node leftover from my childhood.\n\nTo pinpoint the cause of the swollen lymph node (which is what they are called) you must know which part of the body it "drains". Lymph nodes in the front part of the neck drain the face/throat/teeth while those in the back part drain the scalp/ear. Typically a young child might have acquired a hard lymph node from a bad tooth or an ear infection. Even lice or skin infections may cause the appearance of palpable lymph nodes.\n\nAs a general rule, worry if :\na) It grows\nb) It's not painful (malignant lymph nodes, as in lymphoma, are usually not painful)\nc) It's large (over 2cm)\nd) More lymph nodes gradually appear around it\ne) There is no obvious explanation (recent infection to skin/teeth/throat etc).\nf) Systemic symptoms appear (fever, arthritis etc)\n\nMost children have/acquire a few small palpable lymph nodes that are usually not significant. \n\nHaving said all the above (and I firmly believe it's nothing to worry about!) I cannot really advise you to just forget it. Be sure to ask for a doctor's advice since a real hands-on physical exam is necessary for a responsible answer.

The numbness may be from two sources\n(1) The swelling before/after your procedure may have compressed the nerve to your lower jaw, thus bruising it slightly or\n(2) The local anaesthetic injection itself may have bruised the same nerve.\nThe hard knot is probably bony in origin from your original abscess, and will take time to reduce.\nMost likely this numbness may continue for anywhere up to a month as the bruising resolves, but very rarely, it is a permanent change. \nFrom personal experience, and from that of my colleagues, it is a temporary setback. Good luck, and hope your dentist can provide you with some answers, if not some reassurance that things, most likely, will be okay.

It's probably piles, love. Go to your doctor, bite the bullet as they say, and let him have a look. You can get cream for it. I can't imagine it's particularly pleasant but is it pleasant sitting there thinking you've got cancer?
