Posted on Thu, 19 Feb 2015
Question: I have a lump on my arm, about the size of golf ball. I've been having a lot of pain from finger tips to shoulder. This is on my left arm. I also feel a lot of tightness. Pain from 1 to 10, I'm at an 8. Is it possible the lump is causing this pain? I have had this lump ( fatty tissue) for many years. It has been getting bigger. Pain is constant now.
