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

What sort of lump? A large swelling?

KatyMac · 25/03/2014 20:42

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?

KatyMac · 25/03/2014 21:39

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 managed a mashed banana for breakfast & a small baked potato for lunch

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.

Thanks Weegiemum, I'm just feeling all got at

Sorry

Sounds really really. Hope you have a better night... Who cares about teeth for a day or two.

Swoosg · 27/03/2014 20:29

KatyMac · 27/03/2014 21:32

The ones on that stringy bit under my tongue are a real bugger

KatyMac · 30/03/2014 14:40

Horrid to be waiting. Hope you get answers soon. WineBiscuitWineBiscuit

KatyMac · 02/04/2014 21:23

I'm so pathetic & so needy

I've been a little bit ill for so many years & quite poorly for some months and fairly rotten for 3 or 4 weeks & I'm fed up

Thanks for listening

kazzawazzawoo · 02/04/2014 21:38

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

kazzawazzawoo · 02/04/2014 21:38

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