: The tender bulge has nothing to do with peripheral neuropathy, I think. If you had been examined by a doctor and the mentioned problems were ruled out, you need to have either ultrasound or CT for further evaluation. A tender mass is somewhat consistent with an abscess but neurosurgeon should easily recognize it.
