im in military and i have "soft tissue" swelling. ive had it for about 7 months now. it has slowly surely getting larger. it starts at my wrist and is almost half way down my arm. no real pain associated with it but has started to hurt a little occassionally. ive had an MRI and Xray done and neither showed anything there. ive seen many doctors including orthopedic surgeon and all have said they dont know what it is and that they dont want to biopsy it until it causes a lot of pain or restricts movement. does anyone know if a doctor would be more willing to perform biopsy if i tell him that im getting out of military in 5 months and i plan on getting another job that will require a physical exam. and when they ask me whats on my arm i can only say that i have gotten it checked out and noone can tell me what it is.
Answer:
You should just tell them that you are having increased pain if that is the only way they are telling you they will do the biopsy. Other wise, they should be able to give you a work release note stating that is not anything that they can see.
