I have lots nodules under the skin of my forearms and upper inner thighs They are about 5to10mm in size. They are not attached to the muscle. When you pinch the skin they are like peas under the skin. I think whitish in colour. They are painful when squeezed. They can only be seen when you pull the skin tight. You can feel the nodules when you run your fingers over the skin. I can’t find a definitive explanation as to what these lumps are. Hoping someone can help me. Ron

They are probably lipoas. Fatty non-cancerous tumor’s. They usually run in families. They do hurt when touched and squeezed. They can be removed but they will usually grow back. Obviously I don’t know you have that for sure but it’s just a possibility. ❤️

Well thank goodness I’m not the only one. I have them everywhere and they are so painful. I have them along the outsides of my upper legs and have to keep turning over at night because they hurt so bad. 🌼

I have similar lumps and after having scans, ultrasounds and blood tests my specialist relayed they are directly connected to my arthritis, they never told me any more i was just told not to worry. I hope this helps.

Think of the thin sheath of tissue underneath the skin of a chicken breast..that is similar to the myofacial tissue that lies under our skin. These modules can contain toxins but if you can handle that deep type of massage the can be eliminated but it’s painful and of course they can reoccure...
