He Col, I said to my mate who's a nurse about your two fatty lumps below the knees and she asked how old you were. I replied "about our age"

Her diagnosis? "Probably saggy boobs"

She did also say to get the Doc to have a look or the practice nurse if your doc is hard to get a consultation with  

Veggie, my boobs aren't as saggy as some.

I am going to make an appointment in the morning.

i get them ganglions..ha..dunno how to spell it..like bits of gristle..i get them on my wrist,they come they go

dont worry

im sure its just your age

*runs*

nah

you'll be reet

Mine have definitely flown south for the winter

Glad you're going to the doc, let us know how you get on xx

pirate, thanks for your warm reassurance.  

Veggie, I'll be on the 'phone first thing in the morning.

clumsycat,

 going to the DR is the smart thing to do,keep well .

A friend of mine had a gristly lump under her knee .............she was frantic but the GP clinic removed it with a simple operation under local anasthetic - it was all explained to her - a build up of gristly tissue etc. I really can't remember the technicalities now. I'm sure (hope) it will be nothing to worry about but not nice all the same.

As an aside I did think of this (hope it's not too flippant)

I hope the appointment at the doctors goes OK

Hope it goes Ok tomorrow. Cologne.... let us know how you get on

soozy  

baz, I will, but doubt that I will get an appointment tomorrow, unless I sit there after 5pm.

Did you see the doc Col?  And how did it go? 

I made an appointment for my lungs last week, so I called them earlier today and told them about my little lumps (3 now). I will have a call from my doc in the morning and depending on what he hears, I might get an appointment at the end of surgery tommorrow. If he thinks my leg will fall off, we will stick to the Sept. 19th app.  

Well, I hope all will be well Cologne. 

Thanks sparkles.

Hi Col, did the doctor ring you?

Yes, I;m going in Friday morning. Thanks Rawky.

It's always best to get things checked out, Cologne.

Must be worrying for you Cologne even though it's probably nothing, take care and let us know how it goes at the docs.

*hugs*

Thanks Katerina and Yogi, I will.

Hope all is well on Friday, Cologne x

Glad you're seeing the doc before the 19th Col, hopefully he'll put your mind at rest.

That's good Cologne

I think I'm so lucky where I live - I can always see a doctor on the same day (or next if I need to see a particular one) ................it's pretty shocking that you have to wait when you're worried.

I hope it goes well Cologne 

and me, people use this place for all kinds of reasons, and I don't think anyone on here has the right to try and suggest who should post what...

Cheers everyone.

Totally agree.,  I just hope that Cologne (and anyone else) is not put off by the comments that were said,  As many have said here, loads of people put different issues and problems on here, and there seems to be no problem usually.  Hope it all goes well cologne,;

I am surprised at how long you have to wait though, where I live, you can get in the same day, if you turn up at 8.15am and wait... and you usually wait between 15 and 40 minutes... Even if you don't want to wait, and you prefer a 'booked' appointment, you can usually get in within 3 or 4 working days...

How did it go cologne?

Ditto as Slinki  x

Sorry slinki and skylark, I tried to post earlier, but the keyboard wouldn't work again.

Anyway, my doc thinks they are dried out little bloodclots which wont be moving around my body. Just in case he's wrong, I have to keep an eye on them, but I think I panicked for nought. I'm sorry, but thanks to everyone who stayed with this silly thread.   

Dont be daft Cologne, we all share our problems. Glad all seems fine xx

Not silly at all! You simply consulted a panel of 'experts' free of charge. Ga Ga is a great place to be!

I'm glad your mind has been put to rest! Hope everything else is OK too

I've only just seen this cologne, and I don't think it was a silly thread at all - I'm glad it has had a happy ending

Good stuff! 

Glad you got reassured Col, always better to be safe than sorry

Thanks everyone.  

Soozy, I have to see the lung nurse on the 13ths, got some steroids and antibiotics. It will be what it will be, I don't want to talk about my health anymore, people on here and in rl are worse off, I realise that now.

Not silly at all ,you did the right thing.This forum has always been a safe place to ask questions and express any anxiety you may have ,sometimes its good to just say whats troubling you ,Thats what I like about this forum.

Glad it's nothing too serious Cologne

When you worry about your health you can convince yourself of all sorts of things......I've done it myself and I know how anxious and panicked it can make you, so I understand completely.

Glad your worries have been eased by the doc, Cologne. Take care
