Spasms and tiredness

[decopops]

I have a lump in the mid-back just a little bit off my spine. I have done an MRI and it came back good. Doctor suggests it could be Lipoma. My whole mid-back to the base of my neck hurts and also sometimes, I have sharp pains under my ribcage on the left side of my abdomen. Sometimes I feel spasm in my abdomen and generally all over my body. shoulders, legs, thighs. I have seen traces of blood in stool periodically sometimes lasting a couple of days and then it stops. I really don't know what is going on with me and I hope someone can help. Also my blood pressure has been going up, something that has never happen to me before and I am on BP medication. I am 29 years old and has never had any medical condition before. All this just started in less than one year. Can somebody help. I am constantly in pain and doctors don't seem to know what is wrong, since they all say everything looks normal besides the lump on my back and my blood pressure.

oh you need blood tested and a lower GI series and upper to. The blood causes me a great deal of concern! Take a sample with you next time you see any blood, or blackish feces!

Well, a lipoma is just a benign tumor made up of fatty tissue. They rarely cause pain and usually are only removed for cosmetic reasons. To me, it doesn't sound like your symptoms are related to the lipoma. One of the symptoms that concerns me is the blood in your stool. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Did they take a stool sample or do a colonoscopy? Is it bright red blood, or dark and tarry? Bright red blood could be related to an anal  fissure or a hemorrhoid, but it's worth discussing with your physician.

Can they remove the lipoma?  Seems to me a good surgeon should be able to give you some relief.  I imagine your bp is up because of the pain you are suffering.

Essiac can reduce the size of some tumors - but don't know if it would work on a lipoma.  I think it's potassium iodide (SSKI) that works on lipomas.   - I have back problems, too, no discs left (yeah, I'm short)  and Essiac seems to help me with the pain a lot..
