What Can Be The Cause For The Lump On The Leg Which Is Painful?
I have a lump (dime size) on my leg that does not appear to be a bug bite and I remember no injury to that area - I am concerned because I had surgery 2 weeks ago (Laproscopic) and have read of blood clots. It does not hurt when I walk but when I sleep or push on it I do have pain.
