A member asked:

Can lipoma in the back cause pain down the arm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on : Location and size, but not likely, if you can be sure that it is lipoma and nothing more serious. Get a surgeon to look at it just to make sure that it is indeed nothing more than lipoma and whether it is cause of your pain.
