Growth on Leg - Anyone Experience Muscle Knotting?

[MissNeverWell]

I have been concerned about an evolving mass on my leg, which I can now see, and will go to a clinic to get it checked out. However, I'm wondering if fibromyalgia can produce symptoms of muscle knots that can feel and look like growths?

This is unlikely to be caused by fibromyalgia, and it is very important that you have it checked out thoroughly by a qualified doctor, as it could be serious. If you only see a nurse at the clinic, and they dismiss it or do not order further tests, be sure that you do not take that for an answer, and schedule an appointment with a doctor who will investigate it thoroughly. Don't delay with this, especially as it is growing. Your description doesn't sound at all like a tense muscle.

Thanks! Will do, yes I am worried.

To me neither: muscle knots can come with fibro or other muscular conditions, and can be incredibly hard, but don't normally "evolve".

I once had a big lump from (back issues, not fibro) next to my spine which felt as hard as a bone, that was a bit of a scare, looked like a dislocated spine bone, altho 2cm out wouldn't've been possible, realistically.

I'd encourage you to get it looked at as soon as possible, so try to speed it up.
