[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401764, member: 1233"] doctor didn't try to see if he could get liquid out of it to culture, just ran a swab over it? Probably won't find much but it will take a week or 2. This is a strange thought. If they move freely and move away in a line, could they be in a blood vessel moving around? Or on a ligament or tendon? I haven't had this, but I have had my tendons and ligaments do odd things. I had one in my arm that went from my wrist to my elbow stand up like a pencil. idiot vampire from the lab in the hospital (I was in the hospital for tests while I had this - it came at about age 13 and stayed to age 20 and hurt like heck but no one knew why or what other than a tendon or ligament that was angry. Not sure how I pizzed it off, but I did it good!) tried to draw blood from it. I told her it was NOT a blood vessel but she stuck that needle in and then moved it around - it made a grinding sound in there. I was only 15 then but I tossed her out of the room and wouldn't let her back in the rest of the week I was there. I even filed a complaint against her with-o asking anyone if it was okay. Just called the head administrator's office - they shouldn't have put his phone number in the info packet if they didn't want me to call him. (I was a brat as a teen but I stood up for myself.) I have also had what look like lumps and hurt like something is poking a nerve in various parts of my body. My rheumy calls them "nodules" and says they are part of arthritis and nothing really helps but treating the arthritis with dmards. I do find that cutting a lidocaine patch into a piece a bit bigger than the nodule and holding it on there for a couple of hours helps. Patches are called lidoderm if your insurance will cover them.
