New costume - please don't laugh!

On the outer part of my lower leg, just below the knee, I’ve been feeling this hard bump (bone 😕) for quite some time now.

Normally, I wouldn't be sweating it, but lately, it’s clearly grown. It’s large enough to feel easily through the skin now—about 3-4 cm long, anchored right near the knee area. It is definitely a bony growth; if I sit with my legs crossed for too long, the pressure on that specific spot actually leaves a bruise.

Is this thing growing me an extra limb? 😕

Normally, I wouldn't give it much thought, but lately, it’s clearly grown. Now it's big enough to feel right under the skin—about 3 or 4 cm long, anchored near the knee. It's definitely bony. If I sit with my legs crossed for too long, the pressure there actually leaves a bruise.

😂but also 😲

🤣

I asked you all to please not 😠 🤣

Just last week I was at a massage parlor and the woman was feeling my shin—totally horrified—and goes, "Wait, your bone is way too high right here!"

So yeah—it’s not just in my head.

Hmm... where were you actually standing when Chernobyl went up in flames?

To be perfectly honest, I haven't the slightest clue what could be causing that—but if I were you, I’d probably head straight to the ER before you start noticing anything strange happening with your fingers...

Found this online

No, when you're dealing with periostitis—especially if those inflammations keep happening over and over—it can actually trigger excessive bone growth right at the site of the inflammation, essentially forming a bony lump. I've seen this happen quite often with professional football players or volleyball players who constantly take hits to the shin or knee area.

Could this be some kind of periostitis that resulted in abnormal bone overgrowth?😕

It also says here

Once a bony lump forms, the only way to get rid of it is through surgery, though in most cases, there's no actual medical reason to remove it.

But what happens if that "bone" just keeps growing?

😲 😲 I have that too! Honestly, I thought it was just my knees acting up—you know, meniscus issues or whatever else happens when you don't take care of them properly 😳—but this... 😲
It's right on the upper part of the shin, just below the knee
Feels like a little bump, almost like a tiny ball
🙄

but honestly, at this point, it’s just plain STRSHI 😱 😢

🤣 🤣

😢 Well... yeah
It shouldn't just be something you have to feel your way through; it should be obvious to anyone looking😢
I'm not sure if we're all on the same page here, but this isn't right

Betty Rivera14, please get in touch with your doctor. As soon as possible.

Please, if this were actually serious, they would have sent us a private message. 😁

😁 Hey Betty Rivera14, hurry up and hop on webcam for a little inspection, then I might just show you mine
let's see both!
😁

Betty Rivera14 said:Oh, please. If there was actually something serious going on, they would have sent us a private message already.😁

True, but I still can't help feeling a bit uneasy... 😢
I just don't think I'll be able to handle the long stretches of highway much longer.🙄 😉

Megan Rodriguez44 said:Yeah, but I'm still worried about it... 😢

As for me? Not really. I mean, I'm the one who started this whole thread 😁

Ladies, you can do whatever you want, but I am telling you seriously: please reach out to your doctors.

shadowfalcon33 said:Look ladies, do whatever you want, but I’m being dead serious when I say you need to go talk to your doctors.

Chill out, man. Everything's under control. 😉

shadowfalcon33 said:Look, ladies, do whatever you want, but I’ve already told you plainly: go talk to your actual doctors.

Could you at least be polite enough to send me a DM and let me know what you think is going on? 🙂

So now everyone’s suddenly acting all sensitive about their legs, huh? Pathetic. 😁😈
