Hi Tori,

 

It wouldn't hurt to contact your doctors office via phone to discuss the knots and determine if an evaluation is warranted.

 

All the best,

I did see doctor last friday about the knots. He really isn't sure what they could be. He wants to keep an eye on them to she if they get better or worse. I only got more concerned this past Monday evening because I noticed 2 more knots up higher on my shin. And know the outsides of my thighs are hurting pretty badly..aching to the bone it feels like?? Not sure if one has anything to do with the other tho.
