thigh above my knee are very painful. I get burning pain and numbness in the area. Should I see a physician and get them all removed at once under a general anesthesia?

Answer: Multiple painful lipomas
I would definitely recommend seeing a plastic surgeon, first, to determine that they are, in fact, lipomas. Lipomas usually are not painful. If they are lipomas and fairly superficial then you could remove them a few at a time under local anesthesia in an office setting or you could remove them all under general anesthesia. Again, the best approach should be determined by your examining physician.
