I don't know if this is common with fibro or not, but I have been diagnosed with quite a few lipomas and some of them can get quite sore. I have them mostly in my legs and my hip areas. Does anyone else have these? What a pain...literally...they are!

How big are they? I have what I call knots all over my arms and legs. They aren't really big, but big enough for me to notice them. My first husband had a huge one on his back. When he got it removed, it filled a soup bowl.

Most of my knots are where the muscle starts for some reason. Is yours the same?

Hope that you had a good day today.

Hugs, Karen

getting by....

Mine vary in size from very small to about 2 inches long. I used to refer to them as knots too and I have found that they are most common for me at the connective tissue, especially where my thigh muscles connect to my knees and hips. I do, however have a couple that aren't on the connective areas. I've told my hubby that I'm just going to be bumpy! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Thanks hazelbird,

By the way, I like your member name. I guess I would consider mine at the connective tissue too. It sounds like we have similars. Probably the same thing, and I think it is from the fibromyalgia. But I am not sure. Hopefully others will chime in and let us know if they have them too.

I hope that you have a nice weekend.

Hugs, Karen

I have them too - pretty much all over. I have had a few removed because of size or location, but have scars from it.

i never realized that lipomas could be part of fibro, although I have many hard "knots " under my skin - These are very sensitive and hurt a lot.

Hope

With lipoma depending on the person, I find mine "hurt" when they grow. They are trying to force
their way through all of the muscle and that makes for the burning sensation. I've had a lot of them
removed with the largest in my wrist under my watchband. It started out with the burning and took
over the wrist in a matter of two months. I think it is growing back so I finally got off my butt and
went to the herbal shop and picked up a bottle of Lipo-trim from NOW brand. This actually helps to
melt them. Like an idiot I couldn't afford a lot of my herbs as I was out of work and paid the price
for it. I've probably had about a dozen removed....unfortunately once in a while they regrow. With me
it's rare but it does happen.
