What Causes Painful Lumps On Both Legs?
I have developed lumps under the skin of both legs they are different sizes and don t grow in size but do grow in quantity within the past year only one is a bit painful a little numbness and but in feeling at night when I sleep how concerned should I be? The first one about grape size was looked at 10 years ago and dr said it was a fatty cyst but now I have developed more some the size of a pea and the other painful one is a little larger then the first one

Hello,
Multiple lumps on bilateral legs could be due to soft tissue growths or tumors. I suggest you to consult a physician and get fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of these lumps. FNAC is a day procedure wherein cells are aspirated from growth to assess the nature and character of the lesion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
