Lipoma question?????!
Question: In 2000 I had a tumor removed behind my knee. It was done in the doctor's office. Now 2008 I have been having pain again in the same area, but now I have it in both legs. When I press on my leg you can feel more than one tumor and it is swollen. I just got back from the doctor's and she is refering me to another doctor. I tired of paying all these co-payments. Can anyone recommend "who I should go to so I can get this done". Unfortunately, I lived in another state when I had my first procedure done. I tried to call and they no longer are in business. I am so scared because these tumors are big and I'm in excruciating pain. Also Has anyone heard of Dercum's Disease? I also might have that. Very difficult to get a diagnosis because it is rare. I live in Florida and if anyone knows a good doctor please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you have bilateral recurring Baker's cysts, benign but symptomatic lipomas.
i would go to an orthopedic, especially an knee specialist.
