I had one removed when I had biopsy done which relieved the pain but now another has developed. I also have one or some develop my shoulder, elbow that is non stop pain and I woke up late at night because my apart of my knee was hurting it was beside my kneecap but lower another lipoma. It has been over a month can't stand the pain. I had to take a day off of work and I am leaving early tomorrow to see PM doctor to try to get control over the pain. I almost went to the emergency room pain was bad. has anyone tried the IV lidocaine treatment my doctor doesn't do it but I am willing to try it. from everything I have read it has had some success. I am sorry to dump my pain on you, sometimes I feel like I am to going to be able to deal with it but I do. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Elch
