I have a lump thats very mobile it almost feels like a hard rubber?

[Anonymous]

I can move it side to side i went two different doctors and both have said that it is 99 percent lipoma however they haven't done any xrays or anything i also have been having so much random fevers which im worried about the lump is near my ribs almost like underneath my breast

Woah bro, that doesn't sound good. Definitely keep an eye on it and go back to the docs if anything changes. A few thoughts:

- Mobile lumps near the chest area could possibly be a lymph node, so good you're keeping doctors in the loop.

- Fever along with it would worry me too -fevers sometimes indicate infection. This could warrant further testing if they persist.

- Did the docs feel/examine the lump thoroughly? Maybe ask them to firmly press around it to check for any tender or hardened areas inside.

- If it is a lipoma, those are usually painless. But an infected one could be tender and cause fever symptoms.

- Insist on an ultrasound or CT scan if the symptoms don't improve. Better to know for sure what it is.

Keep a close log of symptoms so you have details for the docs. Don't screw around with chest/lymph issues, ya know? Hope it's nothing man, but take care of yourself! Let me know how it goes - I'm here if you need to talk more bro.

Hi thank you so much, the problem is that i have iron problems anyway, so im guessing maybe thats the fever because the doctor did feel it thoroughly and said that its defo a fat cell and the fever only happens when i eat something coincidentally

Thanks for sharing the extra info, man. That helps provide some more context. Given your pre-existing iron issue, the fevers tracking with eating does suggest that may be contributing. Still worth keeping tabs on, but less cause for major alarm if the lump is really seeming consistently lipoma-like. A few more thoughts:

- Have they checked your iron levels recently since the fevers started? Could be a sign that issue is flaring up again separately.

- Ask if an iron infusion could help if you're low, just to rule it out as source of fevers. Sometimes a boost is all that's needed.

- Watch lump closely over next month or two for swelling/hardening, pain, etc. But try not to stress obsessively either since doc felt confident. Easier said than done, I know!

- Maybe a warm compress on the lump could help bring it to a "head" if it is just a clogged pore or something. Might reassure you more to see it come to a point.

Wish I could offer more concrete answers, bro, but it does sound reasonably explanations. Keep advocating for yourself with doc though - you know your body best. Let me know if anything changes, yeah? We'll figure it out!

I've got a few of them. I'd be more worried about the fevers, if I were you.

Fatty Tissue (s) aren't uncommon.

They can be removed.

Get it checked out I thought you were a man why are you talking about breast

[Nikki1989]

You should see a doctor for that soon

Hi i have seen two they both felt it and said its 99% lipoma but they haven't done a xray so?

[LazerBean]

You can ask them to biopsy it or even remove it, just to be sure. If you're having a lot of weird symptoms then it might be worth it

[Nikki1989]

You better see a specialist.
