Hi Elaine,
My lumps frequently swell when I am in a flair. They may be growing at the time or new ones are forming nearby. One of my largest lipomas is below my left knee. Years ago I injured that area in a fall down steps as a car ran into mu deck. There was a visible dent there for years after it healed, but now it is a huge lump and has grown around to the back of my knee too. I think lumps will form in any traumatized area.

Hey all, ladymary here, I can feel for you on the sweating and temp. thing, I get overheated and sweat at the drop of a hat and I too have a lower than normal temp. ususally 96.5 or 97.5 so when I get hot and I take my temp it is usually 99.9 or just under. I also get nightsweats for no reason, I sleep with a fan on medium and my window open even in the winter past and still wake up soaked. So I guess we are all very much alike. I do have lipomas that swell and I have read that an injury can bring up a lipoma, I bruised my ankle on the side last December and now there is a lipoma and still feels bruised. I have two small lumps that just came up on my left bottom wrist and on my right hand just near pinky…soft but not painful to touch but have pain I can feel inside. I’m seeing a vascular surgeon this thursday to set up surgery to take out the three rather large ones in my right thigh and will see my primary on Friday. I too have lumps on my upper arms starting above the elbow and they too look like protruding muscle but are lipomas… so you can all see I relate very much to all your problems so if you need to vent give me a shout ok? ok. hugs to all, ladymary
Today was horrible for me…I cant seem to get motivated either…I have a WHOLE lot more lumps now…Even one under my eye in the cheek area now…I bent my wrist and what popped up but a distinct lump…I have severe back pain especially where the lumps are…this pain is killing me,.,I am on Neurontin now but its not helping with all if the pain just the little stings…Does =anyone shake (their hand shake ) but if you concentrate you can stop the shake?? Is this another symptom?? Im so tired but I cant sleep…
