Hi, i have a pain under the left back side of my love handle,it is painful to touch. i got my superficial ultrasound done about 10 months ago and the dr said it is a lipoma, it was 9*21mm at that time but now it is hurting more. please advice?

Lipoma is usually not causing pain but at times, it may do that because of the location. You should see your doctor and have it removed with local anesthetic. Good luck.
