Hi Jed the Humanoid

Welcome to NeuroTalk - I hope that you find the community as knowledgeable and supportive as I have.

My understanding is that lipomas are not usually malignant though they can look like liposarcomas, which are malignant - was any clinical testing done to rule out that possibility?

It is possible that your lipoma has compressed and damaged a nerve on one side of your body - this might explain some of what you have experienced. A neurologist should be able to discuss this with you.

You might finding posting on the "General Health Conditions & Rare Disorders" forum of NT helpful as well. Other NT members might recognise what you have described and make useful suggestions.

All the best.
