While pawing at my privates I noticed a bit of lump on my right groin

My first thought was cancer. But there wasn't any pain and I'm not losing any weight etc. Then a few weeks later, last night, I was awakened by excruciating groin pain. Just throbbing and stabbing. Occasionally it radiated down my leg to my knee and when I was shuffling to the bathroom my knee buckled and I could barely stand. Then I was worried about a blood clot and took 2 aspirin and it worked. Pain gone. So maybe a hernia? Is there a service I can email this to and get diagnosed? I don't want to set foot near a doctor's office.

I would be able to do a video call with my doctor, OP. Call your doctor.

The pain radiating down your leg sounds very much like sciatica.

OP, that "lump" is a ball. You have two of them

Do you still have the lump?

Do you drink regularly? If so, it might've been a muscle spasm/hernia.

There are doctors who teleworking right now. Do you have medical?

The lump is where I imagine some lymph nodes are

I've been hitting the bottle pretty hard these last few weeks. R6. YES I have insurance but money is kinda tight right now. I guess i need to go on the wagon.

Imagining things is a great way to scare yourself... into GOING TO THE GODDAM DOCTOR, you idiot.

Does your usual clinic have a protocol about the virus on their webpage, OP? Their steps to reduce infection might make you feel better about going in.

Alternately, contact your doctor's office or nurse via online messaging, or even leave a voice mail if you can, and ask if they can do the diagnosing via telehealth.

R7 needs to go and meditate on a beach somewhere.

Yes R6 you should probably ease up on the booze. I was getting these horrific spasms with my muscles balling up in my legs and arms in the middle of the night a few weeks ago when I was drinking and feeling sorry for myself. If I were you I would take R8's advice. Do not delay!

Inguinal hernia?

OP, Can I have your stuff?

by Anonymousreply 13May 11, 2020 3:36 PM

Were you recently ill? I always found that when I used to get the flu, the lymphs would pop up after I had already recovered. Oh and stop pressing on it, if you are doing that.

I'm emailing the doctor now.

R10 has never had a hernia. Obviously.

Lymph node exam.

R5, it’s probably a lymph node. They can pop up in the weirdest places. Had one at the back of my skull near my neck, couldn’t remember hitting it or anything, it was very alarming. The doctor took one look, one feel, and said “that’s a lymph node!” I felt like an idiot. I had no idea.

It's testicular cancer!

If only it were on the wrong groin!

by Anonymousreply 21May 11, 2020 4:54 PM

If you want anything from us, you need to be more specific. "Groin" is too general. What did you "feel" as far as a growth?

by Anonymousreply 22May 11, 2020 5:06 PM

R6, if you have money for booze, you have money for a doctor visit.

by Anonymousreply 23May 11, 2020 5:10 PM

Yep - sounds like a hernia. Been there, done that (premesh). Terrible

Dehydration?

Sounds like a cyst.

I've been to my GP three times during this mess. GO TO THE DOCTOR! Take the necessary precautions, I'm sure your Dr. has his offices clean. Go to the fucking doctor, OP. Just go.

by Anonymousreply 29May 11, 2020 6:13 PM

Unless I could hold my nose and do a close-up crotch check on you, I would only say it's either groin lymphoma or inguinal lymphadenopathy. Get your will ready and prepare to pass, OP.

It’s probably a lipoma. Self-lance it with a sterilized ice pack. Use a stabbing motion.

by Anonymousreply 31May 11, 2020 6:40 PM

I had an email consult, then a phone consult with doctors and they want me to come in Wednesday.
