Can a Paraspinal Lipoma Cause Severe Pain and Numbness?

June 15, 2012
Asked By:Karen Toms in Toms River, New Jersey

I have been experiencing pain and numbness down my right side for the past 8 months. It ranges from annoying to excruciating. I have had so many tests that have shown nothing and they cannot seem to find out the reason for this. My last MRI with contrast shows a lipoma in the para-spinal region. Can this be causing the my issues?
