Thanks so much Ellenbret!
I have had 3 lipomas removed a few years back. They turned out to be angiolipomas with blood vessels. The surgeon was great, and said it was very weird doing surgery on me with the friability. The lipomas were in my abdomen creating pressure and pain. Removal helped with the pain, and I have a few more that cause sig pain when I have flares and/or costochondritis especially on the tips of my ribs. UGH! But I have loads of lipomas and would love to have a consult with her. I’ll check on her site for updates. Thanks!!!

Good to know surgery may be helpful. Dr. H said I probably have "thousands if them." My right hip and outer thigh are the worst for me. YES, the ones in/around ribs are awful! I hope you get to see Dr. Herbst, but it sounds like you have been blessed with good doctors and have a wonderful grasp on things.
