A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
