Lumpy Legs!!!

I am 6 months out from my surgery and have lost over 85 pounds.  My question is, the other night i was rubbing my leg and it felt really lumpy.  I thought it was just the one leg but then as I rubbed the other leg from my thighs all the way down, they both feel really lumpy.     Is this normal?  Is ayone else experieincing this, is it something that I should be concerned about.  I don't understand!!    Trying not to panic - any advice????!!!!

I have the same thing on the outside of my legs as well.  Starting about 9 inches above my knees, and up to my knees on both legs is lumpy.  They feels relatively hard as far as lumps go.  I'm not worried about it.

I'm also 6 months out and have lost 76lbs since surgery.  My thighs are lumpy as well.  I think it's just the fat stores slowly breaking down?  I don't think it is anything to be concerned over...

 When I was 14-15 years old they did an ultra sound because of a lump on one of my legs..they said it was just fat stored in the muscle and not to worry about it...I'm 27 now and its still there..I think I'm the only one that notices it.

 It happens to a number of people and seems to be mostly when you had very heavy thighs to begin with.  I had most of my excess weight in my belly and then in my thighs.  I still have a bit of residual fat on my inner thighs (along with a LOT of excess skin) and the insides of the thighs are a bit lumpy instead of smooth (they were VERY lumpy before I lost the weight).  It isn't noticeable when I am sitting, but is when you FEEL my thighs or when I stand up... Between the lumps and the excess skin, my thighs look hideous!  I will NOT do plastic surgery on them, though... High risk procedure for skin necrosis... So I just wear knee length shorts and swim shorts over my bathing suit.
