Hello. I’ve tried high and low to find any explanation for what’s goin on with my body with no luck. About a year ago I noticed a painful lump on my right upper abdominal area. It was less than an inch big and only painful when pressed. About 3 months ago more started showing up around my abdominal area both left and right. I would get flare ups where they started to become painful without pressing them, giving almost a cramp type of pain along with some back pain. Then yesterday I noticed that they are starting to spread to my chest. These are not painful yet, even when pressed. All of these lumps are not visible on the skin surface, no redness or bruising. the only way to know where they are is by pressing down and feeling them.

My doctor says they are hardened nerve endings by I’m not entirely convinced. Any insight would be appreciated.
