anxiety

[Heyo2020]

so, I went to the doctor about this small pea size lump that had formed inside my leg next to my bone. They did an ultrasound and determined it lipoma, a cluster of fat cells, well I decided to google it instead of allowing myself to accept that answer and it says lipoma is moveable and softer to the touch, mine is neither. So now I’m stressing that they misdiagnosed me.

Go to your doctor, tell him or her of your misgivings and ask for a second opinion. But if it confirms the first diagnosis then accept it. Anxiety tends to make us think 'they've got it wrong', it's rarely so but it will give you the reassurance you need.

It probably doesn't move because it is too close to the bone and not in a loose area of your body. My dog had lots of these all over his body and he was fine. I have some on my chest that are fine they are typically called fatty lipomas and benign. Anxiety thinking causes you to blow things totally out of proportion. It's a good idea to practice simple mindfulness to learn to disconnect from your thoughts and let them flow in and out without attaching to them. Learn to never believe your anxious thoughts and even your anxious feelings because they are lies.

Heyo 2020 - Doctors are trained to distinguish different lumps and bumps in bodies - you have answered your own question, but YOU are putting obstacles in your own way. Do you want to be tied up in anxiety for years to come? If not, Do something about it. Take back your life. If you really cannot, then ask for a second opinion and then accept what you are told. Don't waste your life, like so many do looking for the answers that are already given.
