How to overcome multiple lypoma

I too have multiple lypomas on my thighs and trunk. I read an article about a study a few years ago that claimed a link between lypomas and zink. Apparently Aida patients were given Zink to boost their immune system but this also increased the number and size of lypomas

I recently saw a tv program about Derkins Disease.  It was "Medical Mysteries".  No one seems to know much about this disease.  The Doctor in this program thought that exercise aggravated the problem and seemed to produce more lypomas.  I have had many small lypomas on my arms removed, and two large lypomas on my upper leg removed by a plastic surgeon.  However, the TV program advised not to have the lypomas removed as they seem to come back.  The male patient had over 330 "lumps" as he called them.

The small lypomas on my arms have been removed in the office with a local anesthetic, but larger ones on my leg were removed by surgery.  I do think that exercise may aggravate these lypomas, at least for me.  I was planting a new flower garden and had to use a shovel.  It seems to have"stimulated" the lypomas and they do seem to be getting larger and hurt. 

My surgeon told me that if they grow "too large" they can develop into cancer!  I too am looking for a Doctor who has experience with this disease.I know this disease is rare, but I had no idea this many people suffer from it.  Before that TV program, I thought I was the only person to have this disease.

I would appreciate any information any of you may have. 

Thanks,

Lynda

 

I sympathize with all of you.  I have constant pain from injuries.  They are chronic and will not get better.

I wonder why our culture celebrates sports heroes with fame and money but what about the scientists that are working hard to find cures for diseases and ailments.  Why don't we support and celebrate these research scientists?  We don't even know their names.

We complain about the cost of medicines that help fight diseases and prolong our lives  but we spend money on sports memorabilia and expensive tickets to sports games.

I don't understand this part of our society.

You may want to check the lipoma board (just google it). The medical world do not really seem to care about us with lipomas but luckily we can try to combine our knowlidge. There some promising alternative treatments replacing surgery as the sole option. We have also suggestions for the cause of lipomas. and yes, some people do get rid of lipomas, even without a surgery.

I saw the same show not long ago on one of those diagnosis shows, the same doctor. Anyway what she said as part of their research was exercise increases the p are sure pain. They are not sure about a cure but are working on form of meds to make life more bearable.

I had 2 fatty lipomas removed 5 years ago. Now I have more than 40 fatty lipomas. Some of them are very painful. I also have anxiety disorder. What to do?

The only real way to get rid of them is surgical excision. Pick the 2-4 of them that are the worst and have them removed first,or consider general anesthesia and have 10-20 done at a time.
exercise is the best thing for anxiety. It should be at least 20 minutes of hard enough exercise to leave you a little out of breath, and raising your heartrate enough
