10 days ago, I had 2 fist sized lipomas removed from underarms. Two Jackson-Pratt drains were in place but both fell out after 3 days of recovery. Call was placed to surgeon who said to tape it up. Appointment was made and he changed the bandages and tape and sent me home. I now have pain under each arm and back area near each incision. Fluid is present but not draining from wound. Some burning and other discomfort is present as well. I'm taking Cephalexin and Vicodin. No results on biopsy.

Lipomas are common but an examination only reveals a presumptive diagnosis. Once removed, I send my specimens to a pathologist to provide the final diagnosis. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
Hello
Episacroiliac lipoma is a condition where fat herniates through the sacroiliac fascia and needs the excised and the defect repaired which will aid your pain. An orthopaedic surgeon is the best surgeon to perform this type of operation.
