Any Real Treatment for this Hump on my back?
« on: June 07, 2007, 10:53:23 am »
I have been Poz for 16 years. When I first heard of this lipodystrophy thing I thought all was lost. Not all. I am glad that doctors are not preforming elective surgery on poz patients. I had Liposuction in January. It helped. I'm not gonna win a swimsuit contest, but it helped. The doctor said he could cut the hump out. Not knowing if he's even done this before. I just felt uneasy about this procedure. Any sugestions?

He said since this is a solid hard mass Lipo wouldn't work.

Thanks,

Hey Code3,

I just switched meds because of this problem. My hump isn't too big, but it bugs me nonetheless.

I hope you find a treatment that helps. Let me know what you decide to do.

HUGS,

Mark
