Lump On My Leg

[Theland]

Had to go for an ultrasound at the hospital today, for a lump on my leg, (5cms X 3cms).
My imagination had run away with thoughts of soft tissue sarcoma, but thankfully the technician informed me that it just looked like a fluid filled lump.
Report goes back to my GP in about ten days.
Just wondering what happens next?

^^^^ great answer by rowan......the internet has got a lot to answer for in the field of medicine. To pit sarcomas in perspective, a GP will be unlikely to see on in his professional lifetime and you will have more chance of winning the lottery than getting a sarcoma of any kind.

Now...back to your question:

Not enough information.
Where is the lump? Is it attached to skin or muscle? Does it pulsate?
I like tambo's suggestion but it seems to be in the wrong place for a bursa.
How is it affecting you...pain, can't walk.....??

What happens next?

1) If it is affecting your life.....then nothing....monitor the situation.
2) Aspirate it......painless removal of the fluid.
3) Excise it (cut it out) depending upon where it is.

There you go!

I was going to jab it with a needle. Mrs T said leave it for the doctor. Thought all the info was there?
