Accepted Answer

Be seen: Those symptoms may or may not all be related.  A good medical checkup would probably be a good place to start.

Question 2

what to do if i have a lump on my left side under rib cage, why?

Accepted Answer

Monitor: The usual cause of superficial lump is lypoma. Rarely could it be a small bony growth or neuroma.  A lypoma is usually painless, freely mobile, and remains stable over time. Bone spur is hard, fixed and tender on palpation. Neuroma may or may not painful but usually fixed.  Just monitor for changes in size, superficial ulceration, changes in color and if any suspicious change talk to PCP.

Question 3

what do you recommend if i have a lump on my left side under rib cage, why?

Accepted Answer

See your physician.: See your family doctor or internist, so that he/she can assess the "lump", and order any potential diagnostic studies to determine what it may be. It can be anything from an inflammed muscle, to some type of a mass.

Question 4

i have attached images of the scan. the lump on my right side under rib cage is getting worse and i am in excruciating pain all the time. ?

Accepted Answer

Lump: Has a physician examined you to determine what the lump is?  Possibilities include inflamed gall bladder, hernia, intraabdominal or liver growth or rib pathology. I recommend  a consultation with an abdominal surgeon for a second opinion if you've already been seen by a physician.

Question 5

i feel a lump under my right rib cage, i have also felt a dull pain there for about a month. any idea what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Possible hernia: A hernia is a tear in the abdominal muscle. If you have one on your left side then it would show up as a bump in this area and might feel like a pulled muscle. Hernias need to be repaired surgically. Please have an evaluation by your medical doctor to determine what is going on and best course of treatment.

Question 6

i have what feels like a fatty lump that moves easily under my skin on the right side of my abdomen (just under rib cage). lipoma? fat deposit?

Accepted Answer

Surely: Surely you know we can't answer your question without an examination.  What you describe as a fatty lump may be something else entirely.  Please see your GP for a definitive answer.

Question 7

blunt force trauma from horse riding accident 12 days ago. 1 week of horrendous abdominal muscle pain now ok but left side tenderness and discomfort still. slight swelling and can feel lump under left rib cage which is tender to touch. no other sympt?

Accepted Answer

: It is difficult to assess such symptoms without a physical exam. The lump may be evidence of a rib fracture starting to heal.

Question 8

body organs under rib cage

Accepted Answer

Organs under the rib: The main organs inder the ribs are the lungs, liver, spleen and partially in the back the kidneys

Question 9

bubble under rib cage, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Take simethecone OTC: Try simethecone-  e.g.,  Mylicon or Gas EX.
If symptoms are not improving, you should consult your local physician, as there are many things that could cause this symptom

Question 10

hurting under rib cage feeling nausea ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A woman in her 60's with new pain under the ribs plus nausea... may be having heart attack chest pain with nausea. That means not waiting at home to see if it turns into a more serious condition. The safest thing to do is call 911 for an ambulance (or call one's local emergency number) to go to the ER. As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry."
