Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Legs

I have a mass on my shin bone, for many years. It hasn't bothered me really, never had a doctor to look at it, because I heard if it doesn't hurt and the mas moves then it's just a cyst. But now I have another one and the leg that has the cyst is starting to hurt. And I found another mass at the bottom of the same leg and it does hurt.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult doctor and get done clinical examination of your swellings and ultrasound of swellings.
Possibility of neurofibromas are high.
Osteoid osteoma is also another possibility.
Both these are benign bone swellings.
And usually no treatment is required but if they are enlarging in size or in number or become painful or restrict movements then surgical removal is needed.
Since you are having multiple swellings with pain, better to get done surgical removal.
But first consult doctor and diagnose them.
