[QUOTE="iHs, post: 241257, member: 8799"] Like Josie I also had lumps on my thighs from using once daily insulin injected in large amounts to form a depot that released itself into the bloodstream over a 24hr time frame over a 6 year period. I had the lumps for many years until a consultant asked me on one my 6 monthly check ups if I had any lumps or bumps so I said yes on my legs. He had a quick look and said we can do something about those and referred me to see a plastic surgeon on the NHS. I had liposuction done as a day case and apart from my leg being a tiny bit sore and the need to keep the skin flat, I'm pleased with the results. I think that if you explain that the lumps are maybe affecting your mental wellbeing, then a referral to see a surgeon is possible. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
