Lipomas are generally not painful in themselves because they have few or no internal nerve endings. A sufficiently large lipoma may press on other structures and cause discomfort in that sense. If the mass itself is painful or tender, it's not a lipoma or cyst. You're lucky to get a surgery that soon, but insist on a full biopsy to make sure it's not something you need to worry about.

I have had lipomas for about 20 years...They do tend to grow with time and can push on nerves which can cause discomfort.
