What Does A Lump Over The Left Rib Indicate?

Ihave a lump over my left rib (lower) and stomach tenderness. It seems to be aggravated when i eat, and have more pain after. I have noticed reduced lump size over the last couple of days, but every day a new symptom develops. Today, sharp back pain, with bruising tenderness along side my lower spine(parallel to the spine).
