Hello, I have a hard lumpright in the middle of the top of my rib cage, right now it is about 2 x2 . yesterday I was ill all day with that lump in pain, felt very nauciuos, vomitting nothing but bile , for when I get this feeling I do not eat solids I dislike vomitting, so drink water, gatoraide, chicken broth. lose appetite & do not feel like drinking liquids. of course all this stress on the body causes other pains to join along like lock jaw, headaches , hot/cold, back pain , help, dealing w for quite a few years..
