A member asked:

Small hard lump left side below rib cage on side of stomach. detected today, more easily detected standing up?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
