What Does Painful Lump Under Rib Cage Mean?
Hello, I have just notice a lump the size of a fist right under the right rib cage. I noticed it when i felt a sudden pain kinda like a muscle pain and attomatically put my hand there and noticed a lump. Since then the pain has gotten worse. But not terrible terrible pain but enough to barley bare it. Was wondering why it could be and if it could have anything to do with me having a baby 6 months ago or because i also have a UTI

Hi.
The appearance of a lump with sudden pain under the right rib cage after pregnancy can be hernia as the most common cause .
The other possibility is that this is a enlarged gall bladder, now the pain is due to inflammation.
This is easily confirmed by ultrasonography and clinical examination .
The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis.
