<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???

GimmeDaBoobehz · 16/04/2014 17:56

Urgh why did I look at that picture before dinner?

You poor thing.

I bet you're glad that's not stuck to you anymore !

HexBramble · 16/04/2014 17:56

Holy Shit!

That's a gonad and a half.

You've also lost a mighty amount of weight about another half stone since gonad got busted

May I ask how? You look immense!

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 18:01

I've lost 5 and a half stone in two years, 1200 cals a day (made up of anything including crisps!) and the gym five days a week.

I do weightlifting, kettles, spin and Pilates and was supposed to be running a 10k in May.... Delighted if I can get out of that one tbh!

Kato that is seriously impressive.

AlpacaYourThings · 16/04/2014 18:13

I'm sure you are glad it's gone. That is a phenomenal boil.

gnushoes · 16/04/2014 18:17

Dear Lord, just done the password change after days of lurking and actually looked at the bollicle. Respect, Kato. That really must have smarted...

mumof5plusazoo · 16/04/2014 18:24

I'm so pleased your sorted out. I have to say that your dinner looked awful I hope you4 dh is bringing you something tasty.

rednellie · 16/04/2014 18:38

Oh it looked so sore. Really happy it's gone.

As an aside, Sparkling, you make so much more sense on my laptop where I can see pictures. Why is it that we can't see pics on the mobile site? Someone needs to FIX THIS! Angry

Not really, I'm more Grin after reading this thread. Nomination for namechange: KatoofthefolliclebolliclenamedGym

Catchy, no?

VivaLeBeaver · 16/04/2014 18:57

What did they say Gym was?

A boil? Cyst?

mineofuselessinformation · 16/04/2014 19:16

Kato, I think you can add another stone lost now with the size of the bollicle....

Chimchar · 16/04/2014 19:28

I SAW THE BOLLICLE!!! (I mean the pic is on kaos profile...I kept missing it yesterday)

All I can say is Holy Fuck. That must of KILLED. you are hardcore Kato.

So glad you've been done as it were and that you are feeling better.

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 19:46

Amazeball(s) bollicle. Thank goodness it's gone. You are a sped brave woman. Hope you are pain free asap.

KatoPotato · 16/04/2014 19:47

I am like a new woman! I feel amazing, I forgot what no pain feels like!

For the medics my wcc was 12.2 and my crp 47?

OP posts:
ComradePlexiglass · 16/04/2014 19:48

Sped? Super, I meant.

nochips · 16/04/2014 19:50

Right. I really need a medic to tell me what those numbers means in terms of amount of pus.

Thanks in advance.

bananananacoconuts · 16/04/2014 19:53

Although i'm in no way interested in the pain, i must say i'm quite jealous and wish i could grow a 6x8cm Gym like you Kato!

bananananacoconuts · 16/04/2014 19:59

Wcc is white cell count. Normal is 11 so higher than that usually means infection from bacteria.

ParkingFred · 16/04/2014 20:00

Er, blimey! Glad it's all over.

Dh said it looked like Karl Malden's nose.

You look fab btw, amazing weight loss!

EBearhug · 16/04/2014 20:02

Glad to hear you made it through, Kato. Part of me was wondering last night if Gym would take over the world.

I do think the NHS should be filming such procedures. They'd make a fortune from selling the DVDs, and it's not like they can't do with the cash.

VivaLeBeaver · 16/04/2014 20:03

Crp is to do with infection as well.

So looks like your body recognised Gym is something which needed fighting off and was trying to fight it.

VivaLeBeaver · 16/04/2014 20:03

Oh and normal crp is 8 or below. So its quite raised.
