I have two visable knots below my oblique muscles. Should I be concerned? There is zero pain and tenderness, I work out a ton and am very lean and they have been there for a very long time but I started feeling them today and they are like little oval shape balls. The left is way larger than the right.
Hi. Thanks for a good explanation of the knots. Since they are there for a long time as you say, not painful nor tender. There has to be no worry. But once you have noticed then and there has to be a reason for them, and it is always better to get them diagnosed. These can be intramuscular lipomas. I would advise such lumps to be checked by a Surgeon and get the FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology), ultrasonography done. Since you are an ardent exercise man. It is always better to get them removed. The lumps (dis-ease) is removed, and you get the tissue diagnosis.
