What Does Swelling In The Rib Cage Indicate?
I m 73 and for a few months I ve experienced a feeling of a groth or swelling in my rib area underneath my right breast. No pain, just reminds me of when I was PG as a young person. Something is not right feeling. I haven t had any type of injury to blame it on. My question is what organs do I have in that location?

Hello,
Under the right ribs are your liver, gallbladder and part of the colon. If you feel a swelling there it would be good to see a doctor for an exam and some blood work.
