What Does A Lump On The Right Arm Indicate?
I HAVE A FIRM LUMP ON THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT ARM, BELOW THE WRIST MEASURING 1" BY 2" IN SIZE. I NOTICED IT 3 DAYS AGO. THERE WAS NO PAIN UNTIL TODAY, NOW IT IS TENDER TO THE TOUCH. I'M ASSUMING IT COULD BE A CYST AND HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPT NEXT WEEK WITH MY DOCTOR. UNTIL THEN I HAVE TAKEN AN INK PEN AND MARKED THE 4 SIDE OF IT TO SEE IF THE SIZE INCREASES ANY MORE. WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN THE MEAN TIME IN REGARDS AS TO GOING TO AN AFTER HOUR CLINIC ETC?
