Default Hi Andrea,

I have the lumps in me but I don't believe they come from RSD either.

I have had 3 removed. One was on my left shoulder, 2 in my right leg and I still have one in my right leg the size of a half golf ball and one in my left arm where it bends. I have 2 small ones in my right leg about the size of a pea. In the 70's I had one removed in my neck and one removed in my arm. You can see the scar good on my arm because the surgeon didn't do a good job of the surgery. I didn't have RSD then. I kind of thought mine was due to artificial sweeteners but couldn't swear to it.

It could be that she is going to just be prone to them as I am. The one in my left arm is wrapped around veins and nerves so they say it's too dangerous to try and remove, the big one in my right leg is too big also to be removed.

I think they are just fatty tissue as Tayla said. My Dr. just watches mine for change.

Hope Ali is seeing some better days of late.

Ada
