It is a bit deep seated. I just got diagnosed with a lipoma on my lower back. It is a bit deep seated, its not really visble, you need to dig a bit to feel it. My big concern is that is liposcarma. I know that a true diagnosis can not be made until biopsy is done. But how many lipomas are actually cancer?
Lower back pain and have two lipomas in the area. Wonder if they could be pressing on a nerve. Previously had one very deep in elbow joint, not visible from outside. Doc said no problem but I insisted on removal and pain went away. So the ones in my back make me suspicious.
I had 4 very large lipomas removed from my lower back last year, they were very large the combined size shown on the pathology report was 535 cubic inches. I now have 2 giant seromas that will not go away. I have had them drained several times, the Dr usually drains about 250ccs from one and 175ccs from the other. I wear compression 24/7. My Dr will not consider putting in a drain, she says she just doesn't do that. Would you put in a drain in this situation?
I have a deep lipoma on my iliac crest and lower back.My orthopedic surgeon that performed two arthroscopic for a torn labrum, said he would suggest an injection.I am in a severe amount of pain and he does not seem to want to remove it.The pain is a shocking sensation on my lower right back, weakness to front of groin and down my right leg.I consulted with a dermatologist,he told me it was intramuscular and a general surgeon is a good option.(The lipoma did not show on a mri but you can feel it)
Hello! I'm a 22 year old female, in decent shape, otherwise healthy. Strange lump (hard and painful), became more and more painful in 2 months' time - walking, coughing. A picture & diagnosis: intramuscular lipoma, a hypo-echogenic nodus of 2.3 on 2.7 cm, homogenous, on the source? of the gluteus maximus, left side lower back. No further research, operation apparently no option. Pain keeps getting worse and back feels tight and tense in its vicinity. Doctor says I should simply try to live with it. I am not sure what to do, do you have any advice?
I had a lower back lipoma that was removed back in Oct 2017 due to pain. I now feel a lump right under that scar. It does come with pain after my long 12 hr shift at hospital. The pain feels like a pulling pain. What could it be? A lipoma or torn/tearing of scar tissue?
About two years ago I had a lipoma removed from my upper back. At the time I had it removed it did not hurt .now lately I have a pain in the same exact spot and it radiates down my back and wraps around to the front . When I went to my regular doctor the other day he told me it has nothing to do with the lipoma ,just has to do with aches and pains of getting old I am 52! Pain feels like a Charlie horse or a bad cramp and is constant .
I am having a lipoma removed from my lower back by a general surgeon. he states it is wrapped around a nerve. he would nor remove it in the office due to not sure how bad it looks until he gets in there. I just want to know how much pain I will be in after the procedure. I am also a nurse and don't like pain. how long will I be out of work please help
My husband's back has been hurting him. He has seen a orthopedic surgeon and family practice doctor. Neither Doctor could identify the problem. While getting a massage we found that he had a small marble sized lump that could be felt in his lower left back just above his hip. Upon touching it he immediately felt more pain. We have done some research and have found that this is a problem which is not really recognized in the medical community and arent sure were to go for treatment.
