"My arm"

For the last few days my arm's been hurting a bit and I've noticed it's become a bit bruised just above my elbow. Last night I found a small bump under the skin that lays in between two veins.

Has anyone had anything like this before?

I'm really not sure what's happened to it so am going to the doctor tomorrow.

This is true. I broke my finger a few years ago and it was nothing to the pain of the local injections I had (about six or seven) which felt like someone was sticking a knife in my hand and twisting it around..

Argh! I can't feel a thing!

Dr. Bob says:

No, local anesthetic hurts so damn much.

Probaly the bone brusied!

With my doctor it would more likely be the scalpel and scissors.

Yep, I've got exactly the same thing but behind my ear so I can't be bothered to remove it. If I hadn't had it since birth, and I'd only just felt it now I'd be seriously worried about it though because it's rather large.

But nope, nothing to worry about. {:)

Yeah, I might superglue some cereal on my body just to get it frozen lasered off.

Wow, liquid nitrogen and a laser.
Funky.

No it was a long name made up of two words, the second of which began with 'H'.

A cyst?
