Is it likely to be some sort of swelling due to being mucked about with?

What sort of lump? A large swelling?

A wibbly pea (a smallish pea)

I wonder if it's a salivary gland?

I had a blocked saliva duct under my tongue. Swelled up like a boil. Is it like that?

I had one of them too

I think it's different, & it's gone now

How odd!

Never mind

I had a biopsy on my breast and a small lump was left - bleeding or bruising under the skin (was told to expect it). So I would imagine it's the same for you. It went after a few days.

My test was benign... Hope yours is too.

Thank you - I am glad you were OK

My stitches fell out over night & I had terrible insomnia

I had a lower lip biopsy 2 years ago, had a lump just under it for about a week. And now have a permanent numb spot on my lip. It was just inflammation and went away on its own.

Sorry

Thanks for listening

I know the feeling. Have been miserable and a bit poorly for years. No one took it seriously. Recently changed things with a change of diet. It's horrible to feel poorly all the time for a long time. I hope you get some answers soon. I know how much it helps to write it down on here. I often feel pathetic too. Keep posting Smile

And you are not pathetic. We all need to feel someone cares.
