Had two lumps removed yesterday under local anesthetic, both on my right ribs. The surgeon was great, he was American and went through everything with me, before and afterwards. I have had a few of these removed previously and was told they are lipomas, I asked the doctor if they could be Dercums disease, he was non committal, but did suggest I could possibly have a general anesthetic and have more removed than just two with a local anesthetic. Have to wait for the pathology results, but he didn't think there was anything sinister with them.
Does anyone else suffer with lipomas or any lumps? I have quite a few all over my body and some of them are very painful. Feeling a little more tired than usual today and a little sore. Will have stitches out in 12 days time so hope I will feel more comfortable then.

Thank you Gin for replying, as I have a bad reaction to sticking plasters and tapes, the surgeon stitched and glues the wounds. I have never had the glue before, but I find that this is making my skin itch around the wounds.
Hi Titchyj I am plagued with cysts. I find that the main problem for me is that they last for about a year and then when they go I am left with scaring and this causes more pain.
Yes, I have lumps on my thighs, and upper arms, I had one growing between my ribs, that was removed and doc said it was a lipoma, they can be very painful.
HItitchyj I feel for you its so worrying i have had first drained twice then two removed from my breast and have another lump they say its only a lump of body fat not to worry about it but as its around the area where the others were removed it could leave a dip is so pain full they are checking it again in june had one from my back removed and just had scan and been told I have a few on gallbladder and liver going to see a Cholecystectomy in june its the waiting for results i hate I hope your results are ok keep me updated and good luck fibro10
I have 2 lipomas and was told by my GP not to touch them as they are harmless. However, I have 2 small moles that are being removed in June and they tell me these are harmless but have them taken off as they get caught on my clothing.
