Hi,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seems to have Multiple Lipomatosis with Dercums disease.These are non-cancerous and benign /or harmless lumps on the leg/arm/ or stomach.
If they are painful / or are growing then,only such a lump needs to be Surgically Excised by a Planned surgey from a Surgeon.
Second Opinion from Surgeon,would be suggested in your case.
Hope this would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
