Noticed A Swelling On Abdomen & Possibility Of Having Lumps
My abdomen is swollen and I feel lumps in various places in my abdomen. My doctor ordered a CT with contrast of my abdomen and pelvis. My ankles are extremely swollen as well. I don t have medical insurance right now because I m working a temporary assignment. I have to wait to get the CT scan until I can find a job with medical insurance. I have no choice to wait as the CT scan is thousands of dollars. My question is this. Will having to put this off, be dangerous to my health? Or am I okay in waiting? Could the swollen ankles related to my my swollen abdomen?

Hi. You have noted no pain or any other symptoms. These can be multiple lipomas and of no clinical significance.if they are just under the skin and cause no pain , are free to move ...Get this confirmed by your Doctor . If he is sure about this , stop worrying.
Swelling of ankles will have another reason- May be local problems of the joints , or due to general problem of anemia hypoproteinemis or so.
