Suggest Treatment For Intramuscular Lipoma And Headaches
I have been told I have an intramuscular lipoma on the left side of the back of my neck. I have been referred to a surgeon to have it removed. It causes me headaches everyday that I am having trouble deal with. Will the surgery to remove it be risky and if they have to cut the muscle, will it heal? How much time do you think I will need away from work?
