Hi. Did u ever find out what the lumps are? I'm in the same boat and terrified :-( 

Hi, saw a gastroenterologist and had an MRI scan nearly 2 years ago now.  I also had ultrasound scan blood tests etc.  Lots of doctors said they don't even show up on scans and are fat lumps.  I have lots more now than I did.  Most are pea sized.  Haven't seemed to have grown but just a lot more of them.  Occasionally they hurt or are tender but I mostly ignore them.  I do still worry a bit though which is natural.  I was diagnosed with functional dyspepsia by the gastroenterologist.  (I also had a camera down prior to all this).  A friend of mine said that her brother had loads of small lumps over abdomen which you see as he's very slim!  He's had them for years.  Ask for a scan if you are worried.  Best wishes  :)

Hi, so I literally only started feeling the pain since the new year and it took what seemed like forever to see the doctor. I can feel a few lumps there but it's the one that I feel that's quite large is my biggest worry. And the fact that my side is super painful if poked and prodded. And otherwise it's just a dull ache. 
 

weirdly tonight I'm having more pain on my left side than my right side which is odd. The anxiety for me is the worst. Trying to find ways of coping with the waiting. Will have blood results by next Friday so let's keep our fingers crossed that it's all okay. 

Hi, how are you getting on?? Did you get your blood results? Hope you're ok! I have my abdominal ultrasound on Tuesday I'm soooo worried !! xx

Well I'm all over the place still. 
 

still waiting for my ultrasound but now I have a million and one things going through my head 24/7

so...

my liver function test was fine

my iron test was fine

my blood count was ok....

my red blood cells are enlarged - need another blood test to find out why

my CA125 levels are slightly too high at 39 but my cycle is all over the place so she wants to run another blood test in 2 weeks to see if they have come down whilst I'm waiting on ultrasound referral - fingers crossed-

so another blood test and still waiting for ultrasound here. 
no updates really :(

any news on when you get your results?

Bless you, sorry to hear you haven't had much luck with results. At least they're wanting to check things again and not just leave it like some doctors do. Have you still got the abdominal symptoms ? And the pain in your side when you press? This is what I have , I also have it bottom of back as I can feel raised Iymph nodes there. I don't get why all my lymph nodes are swelling up it's so scary. Also got niggles in my groin too and now I swear I can feel swollen nodes there too. I've also just put up another post as guess what......I've found a hard lump deep in my armpit and lumps in my breasts and woke up at 5am last night with awful sharp pain in breast and armpit. I am completely panicked now. Keep thinking what if I've had BC and left it and now it's in my lymph nodes all over my body. I absolutely hate anxiety. I don't know why I can't just think normally instead of always thinking the worst :(  Feeling so teary tonight. Doctor has referred me to a breast consultant. Luckily get seen quickly as I have private medical insurance with work. I've got my abdominal ultrasound on Tuesday to check my liver gallbladder and kidneys so i'm hoping they can check out the lumps/lymph nodes in my stomach at the same time. Feeling so scared. I hope you are ok hun x 

Hi there ,

just wondering how you got on with checked ? I am having something similar at the moment and thinking all sorts.

So I had my USS and have been told that the lumps are multiple lipomas and I may have what's called dercum disease. 
 

I have an appointment with my dr next week to discuss but based on my bloods and ultrasound they aren't worried at the moment. 
 

I'll update properly once I have all my results back. 

Do they talk to you whilst doing the scan ? I have mine tomorrow as found a lump just under ribs about 4/5 weeks ago and I'm sure I can feel little ones now. The original one feels long and like rock hard.

thanks for answering quickly and I'm so glad you found out what it is.

Hi, yes my ultrasound just showed fatty tissue and glandular tissue which feel like lumps but they're not. Also a small cyst in my breast and glandular tissue in armpit. So nothing to worry about at all! Hope you get some answers. Remember in most cases it is something completely harmless!!

Weirdly that's exactly how mine feel, the first was a longer harder one and then I found lots of little ones around the area and equally since my scan I have found them on the other side too that I hadn't noticed before. 
 

I won't lie I have a fair bit of belly fat so it's not obvious for me to notice :neutral::laugh:

The sonographer was not a friendly person but she did talk me through what she could see and even checked my gallbladder for me as she thought it was possible that was causing the aching pain. 
 

But in fairness after what seemed like forever waiting due to them putting scans on hold for a few weeks, and waiting 6 weeks in total and then getting lost a million times walking around a the hospital because of the covid signs (half of which were only in welsh and my welsh hasn't been used in over 15 years) I was just happy when she said she couldn't see anything too scary looking, after that I sort of half switched off... 
 

I hope all goes well for you

Thank you for replying . I'm keeping everything crossed mine is something similar . Have a number of issues at moment after having good health so can't help but think the worst x

Exactly the same here! Other than asthma I have never been 'sick' up until the last few months and I seem to have a million things going on. I'm now focusing on the positives and hoping that by improving my overall lifestyle things will help and it's just good old ageing. 
 

let me know how you get on :) x

Will do . Thank you x
