Should The Lump On The Left Side Be Treated Urgently?

I have a large lump on my left side about the size of half of a grapefruit. It is not painful at all. I have a blood disorder and am taking Xarelto 20mg daily. I also have a history of DVT's. I have been dealing with swelling bilaterally in my legs for the last 2 months and am taking Lasiz 20mg every day for treatment of that. I took mu last dose 10 hours ago at 12noon CST. Now I know they can not operate on me for about another day so I will stop the Xarelto for tomorrow. How urgent is ths symptom?

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. Where exactly the lump you have not mentioned clearly.
2.But your history suggest pain less lump with the history of vascular pathology seems like lymph nodal enlargement.
3.Vascilar pathology itself can not be ruled out.
4.In this case an ultrasound examination of the lump will gel to find out the nature of the lump its source and extensions.
5.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen due to localised or systemic infection / inflammation so you need to treat the cause first before the lump. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
