Do lipomas hurt?

[sola304]

About 2 months ago I got a big lump (size of quarter coin) in my lower abdomen, right hand side. The ultrasound results said that it could be a fatty lump. For the last 2 weeks I am having a strong pain (cramps) in my lower abdomen, it has been so strange because it doesn't happen every day and it comes only at night and next morning no pain at all and when it hurts the lump gets bigger and very sensitive.
Does somebody know if this is normal?

Thank you very much for your help!

lipomas can be painful depending on the location of it..i have at least 8 lipomas in my abdomen..sometimes its like i have a flare up n the will ache n be sore to touch..if u grab hold of 1 and pinch it a little it will hurt i find mine are more sore and stinging on the surrounding skin around it

It doesn't sound normal to me. Try researching lipomas, but I don't think that they are painful. It shounds as if you need a complete exam with lab work (CBC, at least).  Perhaps get a second opinion.  Sometimes it is very difficult to get a correct diagnosis, even with obvious symptoms as happened in my case. I had classic lymphoma symptoms, was seen at a well-known Texas Oncology center, and I was still misdiagnosed (oncologist said I had mono at age 64).  Don't accept that there is nothing wrong with you; get a second opinion and a thorough exam.  Please post your results for the benefit of the readers here. Good luck.
