nodules any one

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I recently developed a lump at the end of my elbow and showed it to my

rheumy. He was very concerned and wanted me to see a dermatologist.

I went to see the derm and she came in with a resident they both

looked at my elbow had a discussion about it and then she said she

wanted to have another Dr. take a look at it. She went out and

returned shortly with another Dr. the three of them looked and poked

at my elbow they had a conversation involving many medical terms that

went right over my head and decided that it needed to come off right

then. They took a biopsy and I have to return in two weeks to get the

sutures out and hear the results of the biopsy. The only thing I

really understood is nodule because I have one in my lung. So my

questions is: has any one else had to have something removed? Do

nodules usually hurt? Thanks for your input.
