There are multiple things that the lumps could be. They could be veins that have wound themselves up into balls on the surface. Or more commonly, they could be fatty tumors that are non-cancerous. A lot of people have them throughout their body and don't even realize it b/c they have no symptoms and create no real problems. It could also be cysts, fluid filled, or just a gland that as been blocked off. On the other hand, if they are inflammed lymph nodes that could be concern for more serious problems. My philosophy is plan for the worst, pray for the best, BUT don't let your mind wonder to far with what it could be, b/c stress can add more symptoms that are totally unrelated and yet seem important at the time. I am not a Doctor, but I am a radiologica Technologist. (I do x-rays, CT's and MRI's) and I see a lot of pathology! Going to the doctor is a good idea....it could be nothing, but no doctor will ever repremand you for checking into a lump. Good Luck
