What Causes Painless Lump On Calf Muscle?
Hi I have noticed a sizeable but painless lump on my right calf muscle, I have been suffering a lot with restless legs lately and put it down to my recent pregnancy but now I have noticed this lump and I feel generally tired and just not myself? Any ideas what this could be? I am 29, 5 7 and 12 and a half stone, I smoke and have used the contraceptive pill since I was 15.

Hi, dear
You have lump on calf muscle. It can be ganglion cyst or some soft tissue tumor. You should go for ultrasound study to know ezact location and origin of lump. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
