can we live with lypoma's in our lower quad

i was diagnosed in 2003 w/lypoma in my lower right quad - little lower than the rib cage,
it was never really checked out - just ultrasound and/or cat scans 1 a year
it sometimes hurts my back (lower right) - would abdominal crunches or ab lounger -
be dangerous to do -
can this be left in for life without death - what do you recommend

Lipoma's are benign.

If you have good insurance and it really bugs you or is unsightly you can hire a surgeon to cut it out.

It's not the cause of your back pain and do all the cruches you can.
