Strain or something else?

[pepe6599]

So last week as I was rubbing my thighs w/icey hot i notice i 2 suspious hard lumps on my thigh. I'm going to see a Dr about it on the 16th of octcber, but i was wondering if a muscle strain feels like that. I have been working out on my Bosu Balnce trainer so for a bit i thought it was a strain. I looked online and serveral forums said that a briuse with form ontop on the strain and would be painfull, i have no pain or no briuse. Does a strain feel like hard lumps? I've never had a strain so i don't know what it feels like.

I can't really picture what you're talking about - and previously, if I had a lump from a bruise - I would know it was from a bruise (you have to hit pretty hard to do that).
Doesn't sound like a strain to me, maybe swollen lymphnodes or something?
Can you describe it better? size, location, etc....or take a picture if it's noticeable enough.

I have had one funny hard lump on the upper part of my right thigh for a year or so(on quadricep). I've never had it looked at although sometimes it looks as if it has a bruised color to it. I always figured it was a knot, but it has never gone away. If you find anything out about your lumps, please post.
