It is about the size of a medium orange with little definition between right &left. i can cause some discomfort on the left side be pushing toward left from the right. It is somewhat reddish but i don't know if that is a change or not. my legs are, I think, normal. My temperature was its normal 97.6 when tested last Tuesday. I have no pain in my chest or elsewhere that I notice. the duration is unknown. T noticed that I was urinating more like a sprincler than a hose nozzle a couple of weeks ago. It is now difficult to keep from getting a wet spot below the zipper after urinating.
Thanks
