What Does A Lump On The Leg Indicate?
Hi, I regularly stretch every night and tonight I was feeling my left leg while I was stretching and noticed a squishy lump beside my skin but it s only when I bend my leg in. I can t feel it otherwise. It s know it s probably nothing but I d like to know if it is serious enough to warrant a doctor visit, I m in college and can t really afford a United States medical bill.

Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM
I do understand your pain and discomforts
As per your clinical history is concerned you noticed a lump on your leg I think it might be a lipoma if you have no pain at all while bending or stretching legs and it is usually under skin, so do a physical examination by your dermatologist to confirm it by biopsy only.
So nothing to be worried about it,
Hope that helps
