I'm lumpy, anyone else?!? - General Health Message Board

Lately I've been having a lot of health problems, and am pretty sure I probably have fibromyalgia. Although I'm worried I have something worse like lymphoma.
I am lumpy under my skin all over. In my arms, back of my legs, and my abdomen. Some of the lumps are bigger than others, and some hurt a little when I press on them, but none I've felt are hard. I guess I've probably been this way for awhile, but my husband isn't like this.

So my questions are:

Could this be from once being 45 pound overweight and losing the weight (like fat cells that have shrunk all over)? I'm now a decent weight.

Does anyone else have this?

It takes time for fat cells to shrink after losing weight. Congratulations on your weight loss. Have you tried exercise to help tighten up?

I lost the weight 4 years ago. I went to the gym for 5 years, up until 2 years ago when I moved away from the all female gym I liked. Now I only exercise occasionally since I've started having other health problems. Walking on my treadmill kills my hips.
