Check it out: First - Im sorry you're going through this. Second - It doesn't sound dangerous. 3rd - sounds like it needs a proper evaluation and exam. If it is due to a recent trauma, should be on to try some naprosyn (naproxen) or ibuprofen and see how it goes. If its random, get it checked out. Hope this helps!
