I've had a lipoma near my neck and shoulder for about 25 years. It doesn't usually hurt but gets uncomfortable during workouts, especially shoulder exercises like barbell lifts I feel mild pain and tightness when my muscles tense up. Is there a way to treat it without surgery, and what's the best test to check its size?
For your long-standing lipoma that causes discomfort during workouts, non-surgical treatments like liposuction or steroid injections might be considered. To assess its size, an ultrasound is generally the preferred method. If you experience pain or rapid growth, a biopsy might be recommended.

It's been 3 months since my fistula surgery but the wound still hasn't healed completely - is this normal or could there be an underlying issue causing the delay in healing?
It's not uncommon for fistula wounds to take a few months to heal completely, and a delay in healing can be due to various factors. While a 3-month healing period isn't inherently abnormal, it's important to address any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They can assess the wound, identify potential underlying issues, and recommend appropriate management.
