Small lumps on my left hand Triceps
Dear Doctor,
I found a small lump pea size on my left hand Triceps area. This I have been observing from last two years.I feel pain if I press and I can hold the lump. Sometimes I can see little swelling in the area. I have tingling and numbness issues in the left hand which is being treated by a neurologist with Vitamin injection and D vitamin syrup and penta nerv-300 MG.
I showed him the lump yesterday and he suggested an ultrasound. The report is attached.
He asked me to consult a general surgeon. when I met him he suggested surgery and needs extract it. He also found two more lumps at my right side back above the waist. This is there from the last 6 years and a little big in size and pain if i press it.
So as he is suggesting me to admit so that he can operate and remove it.
Now my question is as I don't have any issues with it unless I press it there is no pain. Should I go for surgery? Are these cancerous? Or may become cancerous if untreated. can I just leave it.

As per your description it looks like a non cancerous swelling that is lipoma
Very common finding in the general population.
The size of swelling is also very small as per the report
The changes of it being a cancer are very less , however since you give history of having pain over the swelling on pressing it . It is better to get it removed if you are having pain.
It is not possible to reduce it with meditation and will eventually require surgery
If you have no pain whatsoever you can maybe wait for sometime.
However eventually you will have to get it surgically removed if it increases in size , mainly for cosmetic reasons.
