March 24, 2016
Asked By:Caelimg in Cincinnati, OH

I have a Lipoma on my neck and shoulder which is approximately 12x17x20 Centimeters . I have had it about 10 years and thought it was related to a neck injury (I hit my back of my neck on a wooden armrest). I have heard I could be off work up to 3 weeks! I know I am going to have to have a surgical drain and how much pain I might be in It has been bothering me for many years but no one told me it was a Lipoma and could be removed. I also have degenerative disk in neck.
