haha thanks everyone. i went to see my doctor yesterday and he thinks its some sort of soft tissue mass in there, not bursitis. he said its probably nothing to worry about but it could be cancer or hodgkins disease. so...i have an appointment with a general surgeon this afternoon to get it looked at more closely. prolly have to get an MRI done and then they will tell me they have to chop my whole leg off lol. well, cancerous or not i'll probably have to have surgery to get it taken out, or THEM taken out i should say, got one on the outside of the leg and one in the back on the inside. thats what worries me more, the one in the back that hurts me so much. *sigh* oh well
