Panic

By not a cancerous pimple - 31/01/2015 00:11 - United States - Chester Springs

Today, I felt a painful lump on my jaw. After going on Google, I was convinced I either had an infected tooth or jaw cancer. In a panic, I rushed to the dentist and told the receptionist the problem. She pulled the dentist from an appointment, and he felt around my jaw. It was just a pimple. FML

i had something like that before except it was actually inside my jaw. it was swollen to about the size of a marble. i went to the doctor about it and he said it was just a swollen lymph node. i was sick at the time too but i never had anything like it before. turns out it wasnt anything to worry about.

It has nothing to do with looking up the symptoms of something on the Internet. The Internet isn't usually wrong with medical issues. It's diagnosing yourself t&t is the problem. Your body can do many wonderful but weird things that none of us can understand unless you are a doctor. Don't ever self diagnose.

So much about this comment is wrong. Pretty much everything you said is backwards. Doctors are often wrong, people usually know their own bodies better than anyone, and any uneducated idiot can put stuff on the Internet for gullible fools to diagnose themselves with.

You know absolutely nothing about your body actually. You know a lot more about your own body than I do or anyone of course, but when it comes to a sickness, you should always go to a doctor, because they know more about the things your body can do. Everything about your thought process is wrong.

@28 you might want to get that cough checked out, it's probably lung cancer

Does OP not know what a pimple looks/feels like?

Precaution, yes. Flipping out over trivialities, no.

The OP acted totally fine here. My mom had a headache which turned out to be a cancerous brain tumor. You can never be too careful, nor can you know if little things are as little as they seem.

I hope you didn't ask the doc to shoot the bitch up and whip out his zit extractor. That would cause him to make note of this, and, (lowers sunglasses*) you'll have a blemish on your record.
