Suggest Treatment For A Lump Under The Rib Cage
Hi I was reviewing your answers to a lump under my right rib cage that seems to pop. I have been walking a lot more lately - the last few weeks in a walking contest at work - trying to get in 5-6 miles a day. Unfortunately also an Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIC survivor for 3 years now. Could it be muscle relate?

Hi.
Read your history and understood your problems.
Nice to know that you are a survivor of Ovarian Cancer stage III C for three years.
The lump, under the rib case , which pops up is indicative of a Hernia.
Please get examined by a General Surgeon and then go for the investigations and see if the surgery is needed or can wait.
this is thus related to muscles - a gap - a hernia.
