Possible liposarcoma?

Posted by worriedgirl35 @worriedgirl35, Feb 25 9:22am

Hi there.
I'm 35 years old, female, generally in good health and with a healthy lifestyle (very physically active, healthy diet etc etc)

A couple of days ago, while I was showering, I noticed a lump on the back on my thigh, just underneath my buttock. It hurts a little bit when I press on it.
It is maybe 5cm big.

It doesn't move but it is not firm. There is no redness or bruise there. I can't remember if I have hit or hurt myself somehow, and I usually remember those things.

I notice that when I sit down, I feel it because it hurts, albeit only a little bit. And I can't sleep on that side anymore... Maybe it is because my mind notices it, or maybe because of the slight pain?

I've already booked an appointment with my PCP for the coming week, but until then, I would like to hear some experiences... I'm not a type of person that panics, but this worries me quite a bit

Thank you in advance

@worriedgirl35 This is such a relief. Thank you for writing and letting me know what happened.

I find bumps on myself in odd places and wonder how they got there. I'm often preoccupied while walking around my house and while I might notice that I bump into something at the time I don't remember it later when a bump appears.

It's good to know that your PCP took this seriously and recommended that return right away if you notice that the bump changes.

How are you feeling this evening now that the bump decreased and you received reassurance from your PCP?

Hi there and thank you for your quick response and for your kind words! 🙂

You are right, relief is actually an understatement 😀 I noticed that my mood and my energy levels got better immediately, and I felt asleep like a baby last night!

Today the bump is barely noticeable, I think it will be completely gone in a few days at most, and there is absolutely no pain, at all. But of course, I will keep an eye on it for a couple days more.

Anyway, I feel much much better now!

I hope that you have a great day as well !
