WORTH IT$2,000

I paid out of pocket and will submit a self claim. Got better pricing that way !! I have a high deductible. Worth it. First week no pain, but tonight lots of discomfort pain killers make me very SICK! After kids it tripled in size in! Hormones and stress triggered the rapid growth. Pretty good sized dent in my muscles and scar but again worth it

arms are loaded with these, can be squeezed and go away is this dangerous

Squeezed? Like a pimple ? Have you seen a doctor and were told lipoma ? If you can expel the mass simply by squeezing the fluid/ puss out i am not sure it's a lipoma... but i don't for sure. Since lipoma tumors are under the skin and don't have an "exit" for lack of better words like a pimple or boil would. Are the masses large? I would go see a dermatologist

NOT LIKE A PIMPLE, THEY DISOLVE UNDER THE SKIN...NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE SKIN...SOME ARE LARGE. LIKE ACORN SIZE, SOME ARE WALNUT SIZED, SOME ARE QUITE SMALL.

Are they in the same spot when the mass comes back??
I had my lipoma for over 10 years , never dissolved and came back. do they hurt ? Or make the skin red before decreasing in size?

I ask because I got a "lump" on the side of my breast that appeared over night I swear about the size of pencil eraser. My skin was red sore to touch. Saw my doctor and she just told me it was basically like a pimple that didn't surface and in 2-5 weeks will self dissolve on it's on. Which it did and was only sore for a day or so. It also happened under stretch marks which she think might be why it was under the skin.

not anything like this on my arms, not sore at all, jus unsightly, bumpy underneath skin

no mass, just unsightly lumps and bumps like fatty deposits that when squeezed seem to dissolve. not painful

Were you experiencing back pain or headaches from this? I have the one in the exact same location. I have had it for years. I get bad back pain and headaches

Yes I was! Both back and neck pain. The lipoma was sitting on my spinal nerve causing extreme pain! When I got the back and neck pain I would always tense up from the pain that tension would be mostly in my shoulders and that would trigger my headaches !!! the pain and headaches are 100% gone since I removed it !

I had my follow up after with Dr. Duffy. In the picture I posted the lipoma looks about golf ball size. But he said once he opened it up it was more like a hockey puck !!! That makes more sense why I was in so much pain and discomfort !!

I'm going in for surgery next week. Mine is on my shoulder and is fairly large, I'm okay with appearance but don't want to risk it turning into something bad later on. I have cancer on both sides of the family so my chances are not in favor. Hoping to be back in action ASAP. I went with Dr. Ramsey out of Plano.
