So here's something I've never been able to find anything about.
In the past few years I've been getting these bumps / lumps / nodules.
They are not painful, just a slight sting under really hard massage pressure, but they don't break up like a muscle knot would.
They feel basically round, they are maybe 1/4 inch in size, and they are located in several places on my body, always sort of in the fold between muscles (where I _think_ the lymph system runs ?).
They don't hurt, I have no other health issues I'm aware of, and my GP doc said "they're fat nodules, no prob".
But I'm looking for more detail. Somehow I've got it in my mind that they are caused by really hard efforts - for example last night I did intervals, and afterward I was doing a little self massage and they were more noticable and even a bit more tender under pressure than usual.
Anybody know what these are?
