Pain In Abdomen. Ultrasound Shows Lipomas. What Could Be Done?
Hi I told my MD and a MD that I see here in a hospital. I am in Australia but form the US. I have fibro and renaulds but I am having a lot of pain in my abdomen. My MD ordered an ultrasound and they found between 20 to 30 limpomas. I have them on my arms and legs as well but they dont hurt like the ones inside. They have a lot of trouble with the medical system here and have shut down a lot of spaces in the hospital. I guess what Im saying is This will probably not be followed up. My mother and sister have Dercums.I would like to move home but now I have been told that with the illnesses I have that I would not be able to keep insurance with the new system. So first what can be done for the pain etc and is that true that getting Insurance would be impossible. I also had a mild pontine stroke 2 years ago which basically triggered the fibro which is bad. My life has been ruined. so is there anything that can be done and would moving back to the US be a big mistake? I hope you can read this my typing since the stroke has gone crazy Ive tried to correct what I could see lol. Never mind I just read the pay and get answer. I have no disability so I have no money sorry to waste your time

Hello there!
Thank you for asking. If the lipomas are botherdom then they can be removed surgically.
But the trouble is that you had a stroke history and anesthesia would be a risk. SO pros and conses need to be balanced and then a decision will be made what to do and what not to.
Regarding your insurance you need to decide it for your ownself. One can not afford itself in US with out insurance. SO there is not much we can do about it from here excerpt wishing you well.
But i suggest go where you can get treated. As health is wealth
