Multiple Painful Lipomas
I have several painful lipomas on lower back, knees, elbows, groin and stomach. I researched and seem to have alot of symptoms associated with Dercum's disease. What kind of doctor should I see and what tests should I have done?
Did you ever go to the dermatologist? If so what did they do to help diagnose or treat you? I have multiple painful lipomas and it has been suspected that I have dercums disease, but I have no found anyone willing to remove one to try and diagnose me. Have you found that the ones you have had removed have grown back at all?
Any info you decide to share would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have had 4 of the largest ones removed and they were biopsied. And were not cancerous.. Thanks for the tip.
go see a dermatologist, and how do you know they are lipomas, and not mesenchymomas or fibrous fat nodules? they will probably excise a few and biopsy them to ensure no cancer is present...good day
