  • I've had a lump on my side...

I've had a lump on my side for over a year. It's gotten larger and is painful. ER said it's a lipoma. Should I have a biopsy?

It's a nagging pain to the point where it's uncomfortable to sit or even sleep. It's gotten much larger than at first over the year. I'm not sure what kind of doctor or specialist I should make an appointment with. It's on my right side, not quite my back, under the rib cage, above the hip, mid back /side.
