Could be: It very well could be a lipoma.  If it is under the skin, soft or firm in consistency, painless with the edges that slip away from your fingers when you press on them - it is most likely a lipoma.  It can easily be removed, especially if increasing in size.

: It is likely an insect bite (mosquito or ant) if you can see the puncture point, especially with the first lesion.
I hope your area is not infested with tick which can cause Lyme disease. Fortunately, Lyme disease prevalence is low in Ohio.

Although your: description is somewhat atypical it is potentially consistent with DVT. Since this is a possibility and could be life threatening it would be important to have an ultrasound to confirm or deny the diagnosis. See your health care provider for a thorough evaluation.

Question 7

pain shooting up leg from knee, why?

Accepted Answer

Depends on any asso-: Ciated hx of any other symptoms, any hx of injury, or back issues. A pinched nerve in the back can cause such symptoms like the one you have (called retrograde radiation of pain) which can start in the knee or foot/ankle or leg area and shooting up towards the hip or even to the back.
Have it checked by your orthopedist.

Question 8

why have i got pony pain back leg tjigj and knee?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean: "bony pain in back and leg and thigh and knee"? If so, then i would recommend you get assessed by a physician as you could have vertebral pathology that is irritating nerve roots causing this pain. Only a physical exam with appropriate workup could say for sure, but if you have a herniated disc in our back impinging on nerves, can certainly cause this. See a physician experienced in spine issues.

Accepted Answer

Relaxation: Relax and light massage can help, and warm hot bath  as well.

Question 10
