Libre lumps

Due to nerve problems on my right arm, I'm restricted to the left for the libre sensor. Following Abbott's instructions on placement this leaves a fairly small area. Yesterday, in between sensors I noticed that my 'bingo wings' were feeling lumpy. I've had severe lipohypertrophy in my stomach when I was mdi, and it feels like the beginning of that.

So, anyone else got this problem? The obvious solution is to use more sites, but where? The stomach is reserved for the pump, so back of shoulders, thighs, any other suggestions?
 
I know some people put their Libre on their chest and found it accurate.
Sorry, I have not tried it myself as I am lacking fat in that area.
