What Does A Hard Knot On Left Rib Cage Near The Stomach After Childbirth Suggest?

I have a hard knot on my left rib cage near the bottom more toward my stomach feels like it is attached to my ribs. It s not painful but very noticeable when I touch it and a bit uncomfortable which maybe just because I know it s there. I had a baby 8 months ago and didn t know if that could be a cause. Do I need to worry or is it something simple?
