What Is That Lump On Upper Leg Which When I Sleep Pains?
I have spinal stenosis so suffer a lot of pain in my legs. I found a soft lump on my upper leg but was told by doctor it was nothing. I have been experiencing different pains in my leg while sleeping at night which I never use to suffer and tablets I m taking are not helping. I m on amitriptyline and co codomine. thank you.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Based on your query, my opinion is
1. The lump on your thigh and spinal stenosis are not related.
2. Swelling might be a soft tissue lesion like lipoma as it is soft. If it is painful then get it evaluated by cytology and if required excisional biopsy.
3. Pain in the lower limbs is related to stenosis.
So be regular with your medications and you can try physiotherapy.
Hope this helps
