I've had a mass in my back for the past few years, and the doctors are pretty sure it is a lipoma - which is nothing to be concerned about - just a benign fatty tumor. But...it has become more bothersome over the past several months, so I met today with a plastic surgeon (on the recommendation of the neurologist I saw last week), and I am going to have it removed Monday morning. They will biopsy it - just to make sure it isn't something more.
It sounds like a pretty simple procedure. They will just use a local anesthesia, with no sedation, it will only take about 30 minutes, and only requires about a 1 inch incision. Not a big deal, but I'll be glad to get it over with.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes...the one in my leg has been giving me constant pain the past few months too!! It feels like a constant cramp, you know, like the ones you had when you would grow. Yup, no fun! Anyways, good luck:) PS I am coming to Spokane next weekend for some YFC stuff, I'll try to swing by! Loves
