I have these what feels like a cluster of lumps throughout the middle region of my abdomen that sits on both sides of abdomen, about 2-3 inches from the center and goes down to just above my belly button. Only about 3-4 of these several lumps hurt when pressed, otherwise they are not seen or felt. I have assumed most of it is fatty tissue, but worried the ones that hurt, and seem grounded (do not move when pushed in or pushed around) are tumors, or what is very unknown to many in medical fields, dercums disease. It has been like this for the past 12 days. I am white, 26, male, in good health otherwise, eat fairly well, exercise 7 times a week, generally about 2-2.5 hours. No family history of diseases, except type 2 diabetes on my fathers side. But all who has it got it after they turned 60. Should I be worried? I have read a few forums where people complain of this, and complain their doctors and er doctors are absolutely clueless. I am in a bit of a panic.
Hello. Dercum Disease is a pathology whose symptoms-signs are fat lumps under skin accompanied by pain and hematoma. The pathology is characteristic of obese women menopausal age. Initially, not seems that your pathology is that.However, you must go to your doctor to examine you and request, if he deems it necessary, a abdomen ultrasound to rule out another fatty tissue pathology. I wish you good health.(In case the answer would have been useful please indicate this)
