Suggest Treatment For Swelling Near The Rib Cage

Hi, I have a soft swollen area on my left side slightly under my rib cage. It has an achy feel but doesn t hurt when pressed on. Recently a doctor told me my rib cage was inflamed and prescribed nsaids but that was to no avail. The area has become more swollen and now is visible if you look at my stomach. Please Help

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the condition is not responding to anti-inflammatory drug then it could be something else and it need to be investigated and first would be sonography, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
