What Does A Lump On The Rib Cage Indicate?
I ve had this hard lump pop out below my right rib cage and breast. I ve had it for years. But only happens a couple times a year. I quick stand erect and it subsides within a couple of minutes. The other day it happened twice...and the hard lump stayed for 20 minutes. It would start to subside...and as soon as I moved it would get all hard again. I was so scared. Pretty sure it s a hernia. I did make an appointment with my doctor...but don t go till Tuesday. What can I do till than so it doesn t pop out again?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* As the lump is reducing in nature there is definite connection with
internal structure .
* Ultrasound examination will surely prove the details , till then you should
avoid weight lifting , strenuous work so that it does not pop out frequent.
Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further doubts .
Regards .
