Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

If it's impacting your daily life to that extent it definitely sounds like you should go. It's probably not a tumor (I'm not a doctor though), but it's something. Maybe go to an urgent care, or maybe your PCP/GP if you can get an appointment within a couple days and depending on how it develops. I don't think you need to mention a tumor, just say you have a weird feeling in that specific spot.
If you plan on driving yourself, take it slow at first and see if your ability to drive is too impaired. If it is, get someone else to take you.
Or if you live in a country with free healthcare you could probably just call for an ambulance and go to an ER. I don't know if that's overkill, but if you think you need it, it will be fine (if you're not in America).
im a brit so healthcare's free (for now) and there's a hospital a short bus drive away from me so I'll go and get it checked out over the weekend, especially since i was planning on going into town for groceries and to visit my grandma tomorrow anyway
