Lumps?
 
Hmm, I'm getting a little worried;
I've got these lump-like things under my skin.
They are squishy and I can move them around.
I have them in my left forearm and in my shins.
The ones in my shins hurt sometimes when I move them;
You can't see them, but you can definately feel them..

Does anyone know what it could be?
Please, Help Me..

Oo it could be splints from a sports injury, usually pass after a few weeks. I dont get the left forearm one though.. If you can move them then its almost definitely not anything serious, so no need to worry there!

Hard to tell what it is without examining you.
If you are worried you should speak to a doctor, but it is unlikely to be anything serious.

I've known about them for awhile...
but just don't know when they came.
I know my nephew has the same thing, except he has one in his neck, rather than having a couple in his shins and his forearm.

sounds like they could just be fatty deposits known as a lipoma. these are quite common and can be found anywhere in the body where fat is located. this can be a hereditary condition which would be why your nephew also has them.
you can get them removed if they become painful or for cosmetic reasons if they are visible.
i wouldnt worry about them. go & speak to your gp/doctor who will be able to confirm what they are.

take care
