Q: fatty lumps in thighs and arms

I hope someone out there has the same thing that I do! I went to the Dr. but he said it was nothing, which doesn't answer what it could be. When I run my fingers along side of my inner upper thighs and inner upper arms I feel a lot of soft lumpy tissue. I have to press hard to feel them. It fells like a bumpy road. My husband can feel them too. Just wondering if anyone as the same issues?

Have you ask for a second opinion from another doctor sometimes it helps to hear from another my opinion is try going to another doctor and see what he/she said try asking for a biopsy just to be on the safe side, I hope this help good luck.

Fatty lump on Thigh and arm
Kimt I have had a fatty tumor on the back of shoulder and back and had it for over
12 years and my doctor told me if it does not bother me just leave it alone and about 3 years ago it begin to grow and it got as big as a grape fruit. I knew this procedure which is called E.F.T. and I started session on it and now it is 90% gone.
Maybe I am late for this lumps but check it out. Go to your profile for PM message.

I also have lots of lumps (approx 1/2" dia up to 1" dia) under the skin on my arms. I have had 6 or 7 removed over the years - all were biopsied and all are just benign lipomas (fatty lumps). My dr. says they don't know what causes them. I am thin, eat healthy and have no history of cancer. Hope this helps.

I've got the same thing, lots of pea sized lumps on arms and legs. One on my right arm in particular gets in way when I'm writing etc, hoping to get it removed. Did you get yours removed on NHS Michele?
