Question 1

Accepted Answer

This could be a rib cartilage nodule. There are probems it could be since the gall bladder is there. It could be a  skin tumor. This  needs  an evaluated. It may be completely benign

Question 2

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

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 3

I have gallstones, no obstruction and no infection.  i have been having painful attacks for 18 mon, now a lump under my right rib cage in sever pain.?

Accepted Answer

You need to be seen by your doctor. You could have a stone stuck in the duct that drains your gallbladder and now your gallbladder is infected (acute cholecystitis). This can be a serious problem if not managed quickly.

Question 4

I have a hard lump under my right rib cage with pain up to shoulder blade, extreme shooting bone pain. er did not know, can not get to pcp until aug.

Accepted Answer

This doesn't sound like something that should wait 4-8 weeks for attention. Did you speak to a medical professional at your PCP's office, or an appointment clerk? If the latter, call back and request a call from a nurse or doctor. Discuss with them, hopefully they can get you in sooner.

Question 5

I have a hard lump under my right rib cage with pain through entire side and up to shoulder blade, extreme shooting bone pain, weight loss, fever?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like something you should have evaluated.

Question 6

Very painful tender lump under my right rib cage on my back. can't sleep and can't touch it. also 30 weeks pregnant, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

to be sure, but you could be developing an abscess there.  Is it warm to touch? Does it have a pointing area where it may drain? Does a warm compress make a difference?  I think your best approach is to notify your doctor to have it checked.

Question 7

I have a nonpainful lump i under my right rib cage like i said it doesn't hurt i just want to know what it is and what i should do about it

Accepted Answer

Is it a soft, squishy lump? A hard lump? Is the skin the normal color over the lump?

Question 8

I recently discovered a hard lump directly under my right rib cage on the right side in the corner and scared it might be bad i also feel well?

Accepted Answer

This unfortunately cannot be well answered online.  You really need to see a physician to have the lump physically examined.  Factors such as associated pain, discoloration, rate of growth of the lump, will help your physician decide if the lump is of concern.

Question 9

Oblong lump under right rib-cage, have on going shoulder pain on the right side. on tramadol and still shoulder still aches. clicking in chest also. ?

Accepted Answer

Your lump may not be related to right shoulder pain. If you are taking pain medication for this condition now, you need to see a physician in person for actual physical exam and do some imaging study.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

this condition will be examined, I could not begin to guess; however,it might be muscular; however, requires an examination- asap.
