I have an egg-sized lump in the middle of my chest that my doctor says is a lipoma. He says he has seen these before in other locations and did not believe treatment was necessary. It wasn't painful at all for a couple weeks. But it is becoming more tender and other parts of my chest (particularly my left side between the chest cavity and the breast) are sore. Am wondering is this a normal diagnosis or should there be an x-ray or something?
My surgery was on Thurs. August 10, and I am having a very, very small amount of drainage. I still have swelling and I am still sore is this normal? Do I need to worry about the fluid inside?
I had a lipoma removed from the outside of my thigh at the top in October 2016, it was the size of a small melon & still have swelling. I had a drain left in for two days after surgery & had it drained several times. In the beginning every week, then biweekly & then last time was in January 2017. I am still not able to sleep on this sise as it hurts (max 10mins) and this was my predominant sleepside. The lump is now still there and swollen will it ever go? Should I have it drained again?
I had a lipoma removed from the base of my neck (right-hand side along collar bone) on Wednesday. I have numbness from my clavical down to the top of my bicep in my right arm. This area is now going red, very noticeable against my skin colour. The area underneath the wound has become hard and sore to touch. Is this to be expected?
I had a small lipoma removed from the right side of my forehead by a plas. surgeon a week ago. It was performed in the hospital under gen. anest. The next day, my right eye was swollen & very black and blue. It is just starting to look better, 7 days later. What I'm more concerned about is the numbness on the top of my head and soreness when I squint or raise my eyebrows. My Dr said he had to move a muscle, but didn't damage it. I'm worried that he did do some damage. How do I know?
