Strange Hard Things Under My Skin....?

  • Popular Post

I've been very concerned about these strange, hard lumpy things under my skin. Some are bumpy and growth-like. Some are long and more smooth. They've been appearing more and more as the days go by. They seem to have something to do with body structure....Oh wait........what?? My husband informs me that these are called "bones." Is anyone else finding weird stuff like this?

    I actually do have a couple lipomas (fatty benign growths) under the skin. I have one on the side of my arm that you can't really see but now that the fat is coming off that's becoming visible. I ha

    I haven't seen too many bones yet, but I have found some muscles that I swear weren't there before.

LOL and yes!!!!

I was about to post bones too!! Haha...we're all feeling those strange things.

Between my ribs, my collar bone and my pelvis -- I'm starting feel like a skeleton! Haha! It is AWESOME!!!!

haha! I had that problem when I was laying in the bath....I saw my ribs sticking out and I thought I had some growths going on. I laughed histerically when I realized what they were. :D

GOOD ONE DOOTER LOL

When ever I touch my collar bone, I get a really weird feeling. LOL Not use to this..... :)

Lol...nice.

Ha! I still surprise myself sometimes when I go to scratch an itch or something and feel a bone I forgot existed.

I have had the same symtoms....LOL i've lost 74 lbs from my highest weight. A friend said I was a mere shadow of myself, I liked it. Got about 30 more lbs to goal. Can't wait things have slowed down but should be there by Christmas.

Yes..I now have ankles...not cankles

I had a benign thyroid nodule that I found years ago after losing weight because it was more visible on my neck.

I think the only benefit to being fat is less damage if you fall down the steps- with all the padding. Had it happen- no problem. :)

Ooh, actually that's a funny story. I was going up the steps and said "Stupid, (actually didn't say that) why don't you put your coffee cup right here in the middle of the steps so on your way down you won't forget it?"

What do you know, I'm coming down the steps, forget about the cup and get my toes stuck in the cup and go sailing down. Coffee is all over the walls, steps, me, and I'm pulling my foot out of a cup. :D It really was funny,

..especially since I didn't break any bones because of my fat. :P

It's so weird to be able to feel bones you were once never able too! I love that my collar bones are starting to show.
