Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

I have a lipoma on my left leg and its been causing me pain sometimes its a dull ache sometimes it sharp jabbing pains.

I was diagnosted with a lipoma on my left leg last week I noticed it 4 months ago and didn't do anything about it till a month ago, And two weeks later it started to cause me pain. My doctor didn't tell me what to do about the swelling and anything like that. She thinks there might be more there, so she wants to check my cholesterol, Im confused what should I do about the pain and the swelling should I get a second opinion?
