Help with mysterious lump on back of my head...?


Question:
I woke up saturday with this painful lump on the back of my head... right side about 4 inches away from the back of my ear. Thought it was just a knot because i toss and turn and i probably hit something.. gave it till this morning... It hurts like hell and tylenol doesnt help with the pain.. its a decent size lump and it has constant pain... I know you are all gonna say go to a doctors but i have no medical insurance and i would like to know some more before i hit the doctors and get a major bill.. So... anyone care to try to enlighten me about this painful bump on the back of my head that mysteriously appeared overnight?

Answers:
I think the main reason everyone is going to tell you to go to the doctor is because if it is seriouse they don't want to be morally responsible for you not getting it checked out. I am on the same boat as them, but i understand becuase doctors can totally NOT have you rbest interest at heart and lead you in all the directions (Expensive ones) except the right ones. I would probably say firt see if you can have a friend or someone look at it or if you can with a mirror. Is it brused? Like red/pruple? If it is then your probably right you hit it in the night. Maybe i know it's gross but is it a pimple need to check that out too. But honestly i would say if after one more day or so you need to see a doctor. Maybe a free clinic? Or if your like me i will probe all of the nurses and physicians i know. Nurses usually know a lot more then we think , i mean they do all the work the doctors don't want to do. So they are a good source of pre-doctor visit information and help. Also i think most hospitals have a nurses hotline where they will do just that help you firgure out what's wrong (kind of) i mean they will always tell you they can't diganose you so don't be discouraged that is just a precotion. But you wil eventually and for your own safety have to see a doctor. So i hope all turns out well and it is just a bump from hitting it, but don't be too scared to make sure you know what your dealing with.

Have a blessed day !
