Soft lump on arm turned out to be a lipoma. Nothing to worry about and so lovely too!

I am having my third MRI on mine in a couple of weeks to see if it has grown since 2 years ago. It doesn’t hurt and hospital told me they probably won’t operate on it anyway as there are too many bone on my elbow where it is.

Koala Jane, hope your MRI showed nothing you need to worry about!

I don’t expect it will show anything as it hasn’t changed in size and they didn’t want to operate last time so are just keeping an eye on it. Thanks anyway and will let you know

Yes. You can only see it in certain lights. It’s like a deflated pea.

Lipomas are absolutely nothing to worry about. If you can stomach it, watch Dr. Pimple Popper, she ‘s always removing them ! Good luck 😊

Oh I've seen Dr. pimple popper a few time but never seen her remove a lipoma, hmmmm. If it gets bigger I might think about that.

The episode last week , she removed one off a guy who’d had it for 10 years! It was massive....🤮😉

Noticed that on a ad for the programme - bit misleading though as lipomas aren't pimples ...
