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?

hello,
thank you for your queries.
from your description i think it is a benign swelling and you dont have to panic.but i need some more information to help you further,
duration of the swelling,size,shape,consistency etc.
you consult a general surgeon and take his opinion for any surgery is required or not.
hope this will help you..
