Hello, i am 18 years old and have small lump by rib cage, diagnosed with abdominal strain, is this correct or could it be something else? thanks.

See answer: The diagnosis is by examination and it could very well be correct. Another opinion can always be obtained but another doctor will have to examine u as well. Investigations may or may not be required.
