<klaxon> grape sized lump... hurts to sit down...

[KatoPotato]

Wahhhh...

I've had this lump on my labia for many years now, hard but painless.

Since a few days ago - I blame spin class - it's got really big, red and painful. It's the size of a large grape and is mostly hard. I've had mag sulph paste on it, germolene, hot baths, tentative squeezes... nothing - It's hard to dress too, thanks to the location.

I've had similar before, hence my mag sulph knowledge, but this just doesnt seem to be coming to a head, paracetamol and ibuprofen are not touching the pain.

Any ideas???

Wow. That's much worse overnight Kato, you'll be needing a good dose of antibiotics too.
Good luck today.

I saw the pic last night and your new one this morning. You poor thing, it looks agony. Hope you manage to get referred quickly.

Ouch Kato I'm not surprised you're in agony. I'm very gung-ho about home surgery but even I would shy away from popping your bollock.

When is your Drs open?

Waaah, missed the photo again!

I mean, god you poor, poor woman, hope you get some relief soon!

Possibly the wrong time to say but I am in awe of how much weight you've lost. Amazing.

Flippin Eck!
How have you managed with that? It looks sooo sore.
Hope you get sorted today.

I'd have hubby driving to a and e whilst you phone doctor ....

If it bursts on its own it could make a hell of a mess of your bits, at the hospital they can do a controlled burst.

Receptionist left a message for him to phone me back... Sweet lord

Mate, just go to a&e. At least one of the staff there will probably be a sporner and you'll make their day

He's making some phone calls. Then phoning me back

perhaps if you offer to message the receptionist a picture of Gym she will be a bit more urgent about it?

Go straight to A&E Now Kato - seriously, and make sure you are sat on a towel in the car.

I am on holiday in the wilds of Wales and reception here is sporadic to say the least, I've missed the bloody photo more times than I can count! It went up and down while I was trying to post my tale of woe!

Judging by the comments it sounds horrendous. I hope you get it sorted soon

Photo is up now, I think.

Gym looks like he's been in a fight :(

Kato, honestly go to hospital now. That has for worse not better and the black part doesn't look good. You need that lanced and actually possibly iv antibiotics. You poor thing. :-(

Dr phoned back I've been referred to a and e and to a ward. Been told not to eat

Good lord. I think it has organs. It's definitely pulsating.
Owwwwwwww BUT getting it drained will be the loveliest relief of all time.

I'm glad you've got your referral! We all await the next stage of Gym's Amazing Journey

Do you have to go now op? Hope they sort it for you soon!

How did you get on with the gp?

Ignore that, for some reason I didn't see any updates for the last half an hour.

Good luck

Good luck for later Kato.

glad he rung back and you're referred. Are you en route? Sit on a towel, take the drive slow and really hope its done quickly.

Waiting for mil to collect me will keep you all posted, thanks for being there
