Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 , Did you eliminate the lymph nodes? They will swell as a result of infections and are very slow to shrink back down. Did you eliminate " chillbains " . These are very painful but seem to be effected by temp. Usually they shrink fast when you are warm again but some of the responses in mito kids seem slower to change. The apparent size change could be due to temp. change. Did you eliminate dermatitus? Contact allergies are very difficult to trace down but sometimes a change of detergents washing your cloths can cause lumps/bumps/rashes. And not being an alarmist but cancer doctors are very good with lumps as they are the ones who eliminate the benign from the malignant. They might be able to send you toward the correct doctor. I can't see where an orthoped.(bones) would be the right doc. Good luck with your detective work.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 My husband has had something similar called Fatty Tissue deposits. They are in fact harmful and will vary in size. Sometimes they would bother him and other times it did not. He had one right above his back hip and it started really increasing in size and causing discomfort. When it was removed it was the size of a Softball, even though looking at it on his back it just looked like a small bump. -----Original Message-----From: Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 10:20 PMTo: mito Subject: Strange lumpsHas anyone dealt with lumps that keep coming back? Last year Will had this quarter sized lump on his lower leg, it appeared to be painful, and it changed in size depending on his activity level. It lasted off and on for about 6-8 months. He had an MRI done that showed nothing abnormal. This Fall it was barely there and only after Will was really active, but it didn't seem to bother him. Now it is back all the time, and is bothering him again. The Ortho we saw, and who wanted the MRI, says if there is nothing showing on the MRI it can't be anything bad and shouldn't be causing him pain.If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated, it is definitely causing pain, and Will has enough pain as it is without this. Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions. ---Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.583 / Virus Database: 369 - Release Date: 2/10/2004 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 , Since i have been an adult i have had tons of lumps. We even laugh at the lumpy person I am. I have lumps of unknown origin or significance on the bottom of my feet, my ribcage, pelvic bone, arm and hands. They are all under the skin and you cannot see them at all. When i get sick, or tired they get tender. They sometimes get bigger and smaller. No one i have asked think they are anything to worry about-always easy for them to say. They don't think they are lymph nodes, or cancerous. Who knows. They do hurt sometimes, but no one has figured them out. They do not interfere with my life so they are the least of my problems. I don't know what they could be for your son, I am sorry that I am no help. I wuold think a surgeon would be able to tell if there is something that should be biopsied.
