That literally popped up overnight. I went to the doctor, who couldn't figure out what was going on as it has a solid core, so sent me to get a ultrasound, results showed a solid mass, then I went to the dermatologist, who looked it over, asked me how many weeks have I had this, I explained to her that I noticed it Wednesday night, when I felt some discomfort when I leaned back in my chair, that was the first picture. The next morning, I could barely move my head, it was the size of a tennis ball and very painful. My doctor got me right in, but since it is so close to my spine, didn't want to put a needle in without seeing a ultrasound. So after the dermatologist looked over it, said that there was no sign of a bite, or puncture and said that it feels solid and said that I will have it surgically removed.
Then came the follow up with my doctor, who noticed that it is movable now (since I was feeling miserable and missing events I had set up for Saturday, plus my new washing machine was delivered the day this started, I took a couple of pain pills and moved out the old washer and installed the new, including lifting it on the pedestal) after I did that the next day the mass was movable. This time, the doctor cut it open to drain it, but she said again, that the mass is solid and didn't want to cut any deeper because of my spine. So then she ordered a Cat Scan and also informed me that it would have to be surgically removed and she took a culture. Today was the follow up, again, like the ultrasound, all it shows is a solid mass, and no one has been able to figure out what it is and how it grew so big so quickly
Still don't have the results from the culture, and the surgeon can't see me until the 23rd.
