Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I had a thing like that on my wrist. It felt like a marble and it would roll arond under my skin. It was a cyst that the doctor just drained. It never came back. He said it was from hitting my wrist on something.

I can't say that I'm a doctor, but I'm sure it's not anything deadly. They'd have you in a hospital head full of drugs if it was anything deadly, so relax Smile

Maybe it would be a pitch blister just needing a little pop? I hope you at least grinned.

Regardless, better to take care of earlier rather than later and at least it's not internal. Oh the cavity probing stories I could tell . . . and not in a good way . . .

For all who care the bumpy thing was my lymph nod or soemthin. It became visible cuz im so skinny there wasnt any fat near my hips to cushion and hide it. Or something like that. My mind was preoccupied by the big needle they shoved in my arm cuz I needed a Tetanus shot. Man that hurt like a bitch. Never wnat that gain. So no worries I am not dying

Good to hear! Wish I could say "no fat near my hips"! I have to inject myself - not a vein, just flesh - twice a week. I know we have at least 1 diabetic here, too, who I think injects daily. I used to come VERY close to fainting with those immunizations and tentnus shots, though. I think it's still flashbacks from watching "H is for Heroin" in health class so long ago. NOT a pretty picture they painted.

Thanks for the up-date Andy...good news is always welcome.

Jeez, that's cuz you're thin?? I'm with Trevor...major excavation would be needed to fine MY nodes, then...hehe

One of my friends when I was in High School was a 2 shot-a-day diabetic. (This was in the late 60's, remember). Plus he was a bit of an exhibitionist. He used to draw crowds and make a bit of pocket money by betting he would give himself the shot in weird places.

He was very blase about it all. He'd pop himself (sometimes in, ummm, zones which had no tan, shall we say...) and sometimes there would be choruses of "Ewwww..." and occasional fainting from amongst the weaker brethren. It was kind of cool.

My last needle was about 6 years ago, it caused me to have cold and hot flushes, nearly black out and basically have a massive reaction, my needle experiences up until that point were usually pleasant (unless you count the massive needles I had to have when I was 3 because I couldn't swallow the medicine and had pnuemonia).

Anyway, pity about the needle but cool it's only a swollen lymph node, I thought that, but it was sort of too late to suggest it when I read this. Did the doctor fix it up, or just leave it to go down in its own time- you can massage them (it hurts though) and they go down. I think it's not good for them to be swolen because it means your body isn't as toxin free, but I'm not sure, just trying to remember the stuff Jake said when teaching me a tiny bit of massage theory.

Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Sounds like, though, you could use a little fattening up. I am sure there is more than one of us here than are willing to send you a pound or two.

By the way, you really do need that tetanus shot every ten years. Lock jaw is not a pleasant dilemna.


Hugs, Charlie
