Health anxiety

I have a squishy lump on my leg I discovered it after shaving. I have a doctors appointment this week and I'm super nervous. I've heard that a squishy lump can by just a fatty lump. but I've also heard that if there's pain there it can be cancer. I haven't had bad pain there it's sort of like a slight ache but I've also had in the past where I've stressed about a health related thing and the overthinking of it has caused the pain. Has anyone else had this? I'm so scared

I would think if it was squishy its probably nothing to worry about, just a fatty cyst or something, I know its hard not to overthink, stay off google and try and remember its much more likely to be nothing, I recently had to have a suspect mole removed and had to wait a week for results to say if it was melanoma, I convinced myself it as and that it had spread etc etc and i was going to die, all for nothing as it was fine, Im sure you will be the same.

Hi Emily

I have a few of those lumps that drove me pretty crazy a couple months ago after sickness. I had blood work, CT scan, x-ray, everything came back normal but I still drove myself crazy. Please stay off of Google and trust in your doctor.

Thank you! I booked it last month and wasn't able to get in until this week so the wait has been driving me crazy!
