Felt lumps under my bottom last ribcage on the left,they r tender to touch and is not on the skin about size of half a pea,wen i flex i cant feel it?

Lumps: These small lumps may be lipomas which are benign fatty tissue growths and can be small and multiple. They are not usually tender unless they are irritated. A physician would have to examine you for accurate diagnosis,however.
