Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Lipoma generally don't cause any pain. However if it involve some neural structure then it may cause pain. Other possibility is neurofibroma. So you may have either multiple lipomatosis or multiple neurofibromatosis. You should go for biopsy of one or two lump. It will clear all doubts. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
