Are the lumps prominent when only flexing your muscle?

If it's only prominent when you flex your muscles and dissapears when you relax your muscles it's a muscle hernia, nothing to worry about. I have the same thing on my shin. Fixed, squishy, only there when I tense my muscle, more prominent after a walk.

Did you ask what is was? From what you describe and your GP's reaction, it's probably a lipoma. Your GP is certainly more qualified than anyone here and you should take that and run with it.

Could just be knots in your muscles, try some stretches or get a massage.
