What Causes Lump On Ischium, Increasing In Quantity?
I am a bicyclist. Had a lump on left ischium, thought bursitis, then realized it changed from one lump to three. Shotty nodes. We treated w keflex, maybe got smaller. Rode again and developed an inguinal node also. Pcp thinks muscle inflammation, chiropractor says not likely, gyn says leg shaving. C.T. Negative, ultrasound negative. Still there, month four. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having inguinal lymphnode enlargement.
The most common cause for this is infection.
Since your reports are normal and still swellings are persistent, better to get done excision biopsy of the nodes.
Histopathological examination of these nodes will diagnose your problem.
If this is also negative for infection then no need to worry for any major disease.
