How can I map the left thigh area myself when the lump is said to be hard to feel sitting up?
Tesa suggests: Lay down on your right side and run your left hand down and up your thigh. You sold be able to feel it like that if you press firmly enough (see explanation in next Q&A) or get a spouse/partner, family member or friend to help you. Once you have established that the thigh lumps are breaking up, or indeed any lumps anywhere on your body are breaking up, you can be sure you are cycling and don’t need to be checking them out all the time. Keep a close eye on products you use to be assured that you do not block your medication. Kathy Jebbia suggests sitting on the floor with your legs directly under you, butt to heels & hamstrings to calves. This position makes the thigh really taut instead of mushy so all the lumps stick out a great deal more. Dr. St. Amand said my left thigh was clear, but when I did this position, I could still feel a lot of lumps. Chris Bialowas suggests if you can’t get into the above position, try lying on your back in bed with your hip and knee bent.
