I have had several benign tumors (over the chest and breast area) due to my history they just removed them they were small they too were fibroid, there was little pain involved with me but if yours have been viewed by several physicians and they are comfortable to leave these alone (since you have had them checked previously) maybe with the fibro pain you experience maybe it's just safe not to to anything but keep an eye on them for any changes.

Well, that's pretty much up to you and your wallet. On one hand, the darn thing hurts you - so taking it out would relieve the pain. On the other hand, doctors day it isn't harming you, so I am assuming here that insurance would not cover you having it removed. If indeed you had it removed, it would be for cosmetic purposes, and likely you would have to pay for it. So, as I say, it is really up up you - it is your body after all - and your wallet.

why is it considered cosmetic surgery when the dam thing hurts and is bright pink?

Because no doctor is saying it is medically necessary. Get one to say that, then insurance will pay the bill. I believe you when you say it hurts, but until a doctor says it is medically necessary to have it removed, you would be having it removed for cosmetic purposes - something that benefits you personally, not medically.

every dr i went to wont remove it and they said it shouldnt hurt, but ive had several ppl say it depends where it lays on and mine is on my chest just below my neck and most of the time it hurts.
I'm sorry that you are having trouble getting the help you need. Don't give up. There has to be a Doc. out there that will help you. Good Luck
i just think the drs think its all in my head because ive got fibro and other pain plus arthritis in my "R" knee and "L" side hip spasms so bas i cant lay down, so they think it doesnt hurt i wonder if they have any! i dont know what else i can do but ask my dr for more drs and see a surgeon wholl take it off. thanx
Have you gone directly to a general surgeon? I have found that they can be more understanding and willing to look at things from a different perspective than a primary doc.
ive gone to 4 surgeons who refuse to remove it only because they said it would leave a scar, i could care less, but none of them will do it i said how big of a scar they said as if i had heart surgery, so what now days they will fade. im so not into any more run arounds from drs.. as far as im concerned they were just not willing to bcause of my insurance, and its not cosmetic surgery is it if it leaves a scar?
Mine was for cosmetic reasons and it was covered by insurance.
