Fatty lumps and aches in silly places

Hi everyone.

Hoping you are all well.

This last week I have noticed fatty lumps on the backs of my hands. Other people actually saw them first and they were pointed out to me. They do not hurt and are not on a knuckle or joint. They are between my first and second fingers. My hands aren't swollen at all. Has anyone else had experience of of this?

The other thing I have noticed is that I am getting aches in random places, like my little fingers or around my forearm. I guess this is all part of the fibro?
