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

Today, I went to the doctor to ask what the weird white lump was on my back, and if it was cancer. He told me it was the biggest pimple he'd ever seen. FML
Today, I woke up to the most excruciating pain in my jaw. No dentist that takes my insurance has any openings, and the one doctor I can see to get antibiotics isn’t in. FML
Today, I got a meat pie for lunch. I bit into it and felt something hard. I spat it out. It was a tooth. I checked my mouth in a panic and discovered, with mixed feelings of relief and horror, that the tooth wasn’t mine. FML
Today, my dentist kept staring at me with a worried expression while working on me. Concerned that something was wrong with my teeth, I asked her what was the matter. She replied, "I'm not a dermatologist, but you should go to a doctor, I think you have staph." She was referring to my acne. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly leaned in towards the mirror to pop the pimple, meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. The numbing medication didn't work, so I felt everything. I was in so much pain that I accidentally bit down on the dentist's finger, causing him to yell in agony. Now, I have to find a new dentist. FML
Today, I had an appointment with my dentist to check for cavities. He told me that most of my teeth have cavities, and that I may need a root canal. In fact, I ended up actually getting a painful root canal. FML
Today, I canceled my dental check-up because I'm getting busy at work. Then, as I was flossing, my finger slipped, I heard a "crunch" from one of my fillings, and I now have a killer toothache. It's costing me double to go to the dentist because it's now an emergency call. FML
Today, a girl asked me to check out her left breast, which she said she'd found a strange lump on. I'm an orthodontist. FML
Today, after having toothaches for about two years, which persisted even after I had the crack in my tooth repaired, I went to a different dentist and it turns out that the actual culprit is a hole in the neighboring tooth, which has had years to grow, unnoticed under the edge of my gums. 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.

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

like they say, Precaution is better than cure.

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.
