Lumps

[katrinahug03]

Are people with Hughes Syndrome more prone to lumps and bumps throughout their body and on the outside of their body?

Hi Katrina

Yes hon, had a few removed in the past, mainly on upper arms, cos kept knocking them, being quite short, bloomin door handles kept bumping into me!

I don't know if they are linked to Hughes, only occurred to me when read your blog, I have one in my side, a few on my legs, arms. Etc. they aren't problem lumps, but do get yours checked if you're worried, my doc does check mine regularly!

Take care love n gentle hugs Sheena xxxxx

Hi Sheena: If you don't mind my asking, what does your doc say the lumps are? Permanent muscular malformations from bumping yourself? I'm a shorty too. I'm forced to buy 2 different sizes or pay the pirate seamstress. Or is it a rather large muscular nodule he is monitoring. Did they ultrasound them or do a biopsy? Do they change much over time? I never heard of this being associated with APS before. I did read Apsnot's, "Does anybody have a lump on their head?" and imagined how many people were feeling their heads the second they read it. She and Mary (I think) really cought my funny bone that day. For some reason that just gave me the giggles all morning. This isn't that , is it? I really want to know if bumps are associated with APS and the most common area of appearing. I haven't even read that as a symptom on the forum before (although I haven't been here that long and I don't get to it every day).

Thanks for sharing in advance.

Smiles and warm wishes,

Canary

I have lumps under my skin only detectible when pushed on.... in my arms, legs back and stomach. Ond Rhuemy said they were fatty tumors... I started getting them after I was diagnosed with APS and SLE. Sometimes they hurt so I'll find myself trying to massage on them... Crazy... LOL
