<human>: Over the past 6 months, I have had lumps (of varying sizes) along my shin bone and even down to my ankle and into my kneecap. They move around, and vanish and then reappear. Currently there are only a few small ones, hardly as noticeable as they were before, but they are indeed there. I just recently got bloodwork and xrays done, and they say all is normal and to visit a specialist. Any ideas before I spend a fortune?
<bot>: Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor...AFTER GOING THROUGH YOUR DESCRIPTION, I could suggest the following in your case, as per my experience on needle biopsies from various kind of body lumps:1. These are all soft tissue knots/swellings as imaging study is normal2. They move around, and vanish and then reappear; therefore they are possibly related to vascular or lymph channels and never they are tumors!3. Some infective or parasitic lesions could feel like this also4. Skin nodules like panniculitis or skin lymphoma is rare possibilityTherefore the treatment only depends upon the diagnosis and for this you must see a surgeon or physician for some investigations, and please then revert to us!regards!
