Had Surgery To Remove Tumour From Back Of Shoulder. Having Pain. What Could Be Causing The Pain?
My husband had surgery alittle over a year ago to have a non cancerous Intermuscular Lymphoma/fatty tumor removed from the back of his right shoulder , he is still having severe pain with this, is determined there is something going on in there, the tumor was about the size of a softball. Any suggestions on what it could be causing the pain after this long? Thank you for any help

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I think what you are talking about is a lipoma and not a lymphoma. There could be several reasons for the pain including damage to a ligament or nerve. I would suggest the first step would be to perform a MRI of the shoulder joint to ensure that there was no damage to the ligaments. You would need to see your orthopaedic surgeon again for this.
Hope this helps
Regards
