What Causes Lump In Between Hip And Rib Cage?
Hello I am 21 years old. I have had a pea sized lump/ball in between my left side hip and rib cage a little more towards the back. I have had this thing for about 5 years and have asked doctors about it in the best when I had Medicaid but they really didn t seem to care. Now, it hasn t grown at all atleast from what I can tell and feel, certain movements I do like at work I get a sharp pain, when I press on it I get a weird sharp pain and it feels like an implant or something hard? I m getting really concerned about this what do you think I should do? I am really active, healthy, and in shape. I don t know what is wrong everyone I show say that it isn t normal. Thank you

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You must be having lipoma/fat lump. You should not worry at all unless it is really big size to bother you. At the most you can do needle test/FNAC from the lump to be 100/.sure. Treatment is surgical excision and no tablets can cure it.
Regards.
