Lipomas are what my dr calls them. I have them all over my body. Mostly arms , back and legs and stomach.

I have horrible lumps on my bicep on my left arm ( upper outside of the arm) Apparently they are Lipomas ( fatty benign tumors and usually painless ) and with they are very painful. Yes they are odd, the whole Fibromyalgia situation is very odd. How many members have suffered panic or anxiety at any point in their life ? I tend to believe there is a strong connection and that both are directly related to an exceptionally sensitive nervous system. This doesn’t mean you are a basket case, quite the contrary. Sufferers actually can endure more stress than the average person and basically your brain says “ enough “ and manifests it’s dislike for what is happening with physical pain. When the sufferer continues to ignore perhaps the “real root “ of the problem ...the body is told by the brain to react ! Overtime the Nervous System becomes very sensitive, that would be to temperatures, humidity, sound, lights( optic nerve) and most importantly “ pain receptors “, muscles contract on and on and on.

This could be Dercums Disease - small hard mainly pea sized lumps under the skin - some of them extremely painful when gently pressed. I had these all over my body for years - especially on my thighs but a year after losing 4 stone in weight the pain has pretty much gone and the lumps are less noticeable. May be coincidence and not related to weight loss.

I have been asking this question forever!! and now here it is FINALLY! I have lumps ALL OVER my body. and yes they hurt. mine arnt hard though. kinda squishy, andcwhen there like that, that's when I'm swollen all over and they hurt the most. when I'm not swollen they seem more firm. but they seem to spread out around my hips and almost feel rope like and just continue. I can actually visually see my whole right side of my body is bigger than my left side. SMH I thought maybe RA ARTHRITIS. but they say No. so I guess it's the fibromyalgia.
