For the past, 10 years I've been thinking I've had calcium deposits in my lower back and there was nothing I could do for my pain. I finally showed the so called muscle knots to my new physician and he said they were lipomaso and if they were painful I could have them removed. I'm excited to say that this coming Tuesday I will finally be rid of them and my pain.

I hope your doing well. I will be having mine removed from upper back on Monday. They completed a MRI and it's about 12centimeters long. How are you feeling?

Hi, I'm doing much better thank you. How did your surgery go? I'm pretty sure you're in some pain but I hope you feel relief soon.

So happy that you found a qualified medical doctor who gave you a 2nd, ACURATE diagnosis! Lipomas are irritating and mine was painful so, congrats to you! Yay!

Thanks for sharing a photo. Did you discuss scar treatment with your doctor?

You'really welcome. No, not yet I really didn't think about it until now. Do you know if there are creams or such that others have used?

Hi ☺
Here is an FAQ that speaks to what you can use to help minimize scarring:

I am waiting for insurance approval to get one removed myself... Did insurance pay for yours or did you pay out of pocket?
December 6, 2015
Insurance paid, I'm just not sure how much of it they paid. Initially my co-pay was $500. but when I was signing my consent I was told my co-pay was $210. at the surgeon's office and then the hospital charged $242. during my pre-opp. procedures. I have BCBS.

Thank you, I'm recovering nicely now and the soreness is easing up daily. I'm so happy yours went well. They can truly be bothersome.

Road to recovery
Veronica23MDecember 18, 2015
Doing much better today, still unable to bend much without seeping and slight stinging pain but it's not bad at all. I keep opening up the cut on the lower right side because of my jeans I wear for work and the bending and riding around on bumpy roads in large trucks. Placing Neosporin on it is helping. I started to use 100% silicone gel, I based that choice on an article that Eva G. sent that she thought I might like, and my doctor said it was great stuff to use. The one I chose at Walgreens is called ScarAway and normally it's $35. but with a Rewards card it's $18. for a limited time.
