Q: Repeatedly getting Lipoma.

I am not sure if anyone can help, here goes...
For a couple of years I had 4 Lipoma in my lumbar region, which grew and grew and my legs eventually started getting numb, I lost mucsle tone and ended up in extreme pain, they grew one was apple size, the others were a little smaller, I managed to convince my dr to eventually refer me to the hospital and they were removed, but 6 weeks later i went back for a post operative check up and the dr discovered that there was another large lipoma, i don't understand this as he said they were all removed but during surgery he saw lots of small lumps but he vacumed them out the best he could, any way so i go back into surgery a few weeks later and this has been removed also.
Now my problem is the specialist has signed me off and said there is nothing more he can do,he is insisting the lipoma are not causing me my pain, or numbness and disregards my concerns, i now have a further 2 lipoma around the dimple bit in the bottom of my back and one of them is about 3 inches round, my legs are going numb and tingly, and my left hips and buttock are painful, i feel a case of de ja vu coming on again....any advice would be really appreciated, i need help, i am only 29 and have 3 children to look after but i can't get down to play with them etc...

Thanks Smile
n.b i had an xray of my spine ordered by my gp and nothing came up.
