Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Forearm And Eyebrow While Having Anxiety
I ve had severe health anxiety for the past 3 months. Thankfully, my anxiety has subsided but the muscle pain has set in. While massaging my body and head, I ve discovered 2 bumps. One on top of my forearm under the skin (feel like maybe on the muscle). It s the size of a BB or pea size and only hurts when I press on it. The other bump is on my brow bone above my right eyebrow. It doesn t hurt at all. Just discovered it while massaging my head trying to get rid of a 4 day long headache. Could these be stress knots ? I ve felt of knots before after working out or something but these are more on the bump side and not knots.
