Anyone ever have a lipoma?

[Muze]

I've got one on my back. It's not near any joints so I don't have the same issues you've described. It doesn't cause any pain or anything, but some days I can just "feel" it there and that sorta bugs me....certainly not worth having a huge hole dug into my back to remove it. But if it were near a joint or pinching a nerve or anything else, I'd definitely want it fixed.

Same here. Two doctors said my chronic lower back pain is associated with the lipomas (these suckers are attached to muscles, not just under the skin) & wanted to cut me open, and one doctor said the pain is totally unrelated. I just try to work out a bunch and keep the abs strong so the back doesn't hurt and that's worked so far. So I'm not sure if the lipomas cause the pain or not. But no surgery for me...
