What Is A Lipoma (suspected) In Calf Muscles (a Painful Lump) And How To Treat This?

About 2 weeks ago, I had some shooting pains in the back of my calf. As I was rubbing it to relieve the pains, I felt a lump about 1 to 2 inches long right above the pain. I went to the Dr. the next day, had an ultrasound and an MRI performed in the next several days. Nothing was detected, but the report suspected a lipoma. What is it and can I get rid of naturally? They are suggesting a biopsy as a next step.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have calcium defeciency, and a condition of the contracture of the muscles called the tetany.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an estimation of the calcium, and vitaminD, in the serum.
Avoid taking potato,other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods when you have such a pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
