What Is The Cause Of Sore Ribs And Lump Near Ribs?
My rib has been sore while laying on stomach at night for 3 days. On the 3rd day I proceeded to examine myself by laying on the bed and stretchin my side to better view the rib cage. I considered that one might be broken. However I found a lump that seemed like a cyst at first. It is not on the bone as u can pick it up with the skin. I squeezed and messed with it. Now a hardened sore vein like line is trailing down it and from from top f it...it hurts too. If I stretch out u can see this line with the center lump in it. Please help

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Without being able to see/examine the lump, of course, we can't make any kind of diagnosis. One very commonly seen lump in the body is a lipoma, which is a benign fatty lesion. If there is pain or discoloration or discharge or redness or any other concerning finding associated with the lump, please see a physician for further evaluation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
Warm Regards
