Hi, I am a 25 year old female. I have 3 lumps in a line under the skin along my femoral vein (artery?) in the upper part of the crease of my left inner thigh. The first is about the size of a walnut, 2nd a marble, 3rd dime sized. They are getting bigger by the day and just overnight a 4th has come up under the skin on my thigh above the other 3. They are very tender and sensitive to touch. They can become very painful after sitting at my desk at work for more than an hour or when i wake up the mornings from sleepng sometimes it hurts to walk on my left leg. Any ideas what this ould be and what i should do?
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor.This seems to be enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. The site you mentioned is classical for these. Do you have fever? As nodes are usually enlarged & tender when there is infection, which also causes fever. Source of infection needs to be ad Chat Doctor. In my clinic, after clinical examination I advise CBC, urine routine, blood sugar level to such patients.FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology is advised to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
