Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Lipoma does not give pain indeed. However in some cases if lipoma compresses nerves can give pain especially when lying down.
The other possibility is that you have a sebacues cyst. This lesion if infected will give pain and swelling.
The best you can do at this point, is to have soft tissues ultrasound done. This test can tell what kind of lesion you have.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
