Any lumps that mysteriously show up may be nothing at all but you need to let your doctor check it out. The lump maybe totally unrealted to your other symptoms. I have had several mysterious lumps show up and they scared me to death. Luckily none of them were serious and they went away in time. I still have on my arm that you can feel but not see. I have had it for years and was told that it's a harmless cyst. Like I said, it may be nothing at all but get it checked out for some peace of mind. Plus if it's anything serious, the earlier you start treament the better.

Good luck!
