Members offered warm support and practical guidance to someone asking about mysterious bumps on their spine, legs, and hip that doctors attributed to fibromyalgia. Several members explained that lipomas (benign fatty deposits under the skin) and angiolipomas (painful nodules) are common in people with fibromyalgia and often cause more pain than they do in others, with one member sharing their own recent lipoma diagnosis. A recurring theme was the strong encouragement to see a doctor for any new or unexplained bumps, even when fibromyalgia is suspected, as proper evaluation and peace of mind are always worth pursuing.

lipomas are quite common in people with fibromyalgia, and when they do appear, the pain is almost invariably worse than what other people experience. ... Angiolipomas (painful nodules situated just below the skin) Chondroid lipomas (typically appearing as hard, yellow lumps on the legs of women)
Definitely see your doctor to get it checked out

Lipoma is just a fatty tissue that’s occured it’s easily removed and not life threatening. 💙💙💙

Fibro can cause bumps under the skin. Fibro team just posted an article about this. With any new bump should have it checked by doctor.
