Honestly wait until your doctors appointment. No one can say anything of any medical significance over the internet and from the information you’ve given.
Stop googling, and try to stop worrying.

What kind of lumps? Painful or painless, on joints or planes? Do they move? Has DD been unwell recently? Are they red or hot?

Top of legs near groin are usually enlarged lymph nodes caused by an infection or illness. Hand and wrist could be cysts but when I had a painful one around that age the doc said it was likely to be ‘gristle’ or fat (lipoma). Lovely. It went away.

Obviously still go to the doctor but there’s all sorts of benign reasons for various body lumps.

They are like pee size to egg size. We found more today the ones on the top of her legs/hips are pretty sore but calpol seems to be helping. She going to gymnastics but didnt go today because its sore and she is self concous you can see one of them in her leo

I see. I’ve no idea what that could be I’m afraid. Hope you see the doc soon. If they get bigger or hot then I’d call them back and ask for a sooner appt.
