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

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???

Good luck. You must be in agony. I have previous experience of similar, although tbh I don't think mine were as bad as that and they were still agony, so you have all my sympathy.

Avoid speed bumps would be my advice for the journey and take that towel!

You poor. poor thing that looks simply horrendous. I hope they can give you something for the pain instantly

Honestly I can't believe they didn't sort it out yesterday for you. Good luck.

Good luck Kato. And I would have loved to hear the conversation with MIL

Kato: MIL can you drive me to hospital?
MIL: Of course, what's wrong?
Kato: I need a bollicle-ectomy. Wanna see?!

All the best, you Queen of the Wonder Sporn.

You know what Kato, I underestimated what these threads can do support wise till I had my own last week. Hope MIL drives smoothly for you :-)

As a theatre nurse I would LOVE to be popping that bad boy Grin

Good luck with everything today, hope it goes well for you. It looks agonising.

For the future you could've gone to A&E who would refer you to the appropriate team - gynae. You would not have been making a fuss AT ALL!

Sparklingbrook · 16/04/2014 09:17

Hope it all goes ok Kato, massive respect for keeping your sense of humour throughout. xx

Ouchie - looks awful this morning Kato. Hope you get to the hospital before it bursts.

Only on Mumsnet - love it!!!

minniebar · 16/04/2014 09:22

Best of luck. Um, would it be inappropriate to ask a&e staff to take pics during the procedure?! You know, for us medical posterity.
