: My guess is that you are discovering your body and its lumps and bumps. I call this the medical student syndrome. Every time you first learn about a new disease XXX you begin to worry about every pain or bump you think means OMG I have XXX. I would go to uptodate.com and read about lymph nodes and lipomas and discuss with Dr. again.
