I have an 8mo baby so have been ignoring the occasional ow and appearance of a small lump on my shin.

This evening it feels like it's being stabbed repeatedly with a pin - actually making me wince and impossible to ignore. There's a very mild appearance of bruising around what feels like a solid lump under the skin about the size of a squashed pea.

Should I worry or do anything ie GP tomorrow? Or just take an aspirin?

Any advice very much appreciated.

Most likely a varicose vein, but I would call 111 to see what they advise.
