Hi Cassie

Hi Cassie! How long have you had this lump? If it just recently appeared I would go and get checked out right away and get seen. I'm not a doctor here and can't make a diagnoses but I think of 2 things that could cause lumps. One is swollen lymph nodes and that is possible and the other one is a blood clot.
Lupus can cause either one. But if you hit that area by accident a lump can appear. Lupus can cause swollen lymph node that feel hard to the touch. A boil getting ready to form can cause a lump. And a blood clot can also cause a lump.
Might be good idea to get checked out. 2 things are not serious but the blood clot thing could be if not treated properly. Some of us with lupus have the anti phosphlid syndrome which is a blood clotting problem. I have never tested positive for it and so far no problems but have met a few that have had problems. Hope it goes away and is just a small lump of no concern. Wishing you my best!:lol:

Hi Cassie

Hi Cassie! Glad to hear that the lump was something minor and not major. It was best getting it checked out. Especially if it was a blood clot. But glad it wasn't one of them. Not sure about the myositis thing being connected or not. I have had myositis before and boy was that a mess. Dealing with lupus is a mess anyway. I would rather have my tonsils taken out and heal up than to have lupus any day! But glad to hear the good news.
