Hi Kerry i hope you don't mind me asking as your post was a while ago I have exactly the same problem on my right side a big lump under my rib on the bottom rib it feels bony and big can I just ask what your outcome was as I'm now waiting for a scan Thank you 

Hi

I have noticed a lump just under my bra strap, right side back ribs.  Sadly I am struggling to get through to my doctors because of the corona virus.  Doctors have stopped online appointment bookings and over the counter appointments, will now only take appointments by telephone.  I have been trying to get through to them for the past few days but with no sucess.  What can I do?

I am in exactly the same position as you olando! Out of nowhere about 3 weeks ago i felt severe pain in my left side, i was struggling to stand straight for a good 2 hrs. It gradually faded to just discomfort, especially bending down. And thats what i was doing when i put my hanf on back to help ease it and felt the lump. Its rock solid and can definetly see and feel it. Over the past few weeks its almost like i have something causing extreme pressure on my side similar to when i was pregnant and a elbow would stick out. I want to obviously get it checked but i also would hate to put pressure on hospital staff at the moment particularly as getting through to my surgery is not happening! Have you got anywhere yet. I hope your doing ok! Stay safe x

Hi hun just read this I'm exactly the same I've just found quite a large lump well I think it's a lump on my rig side under rib cage into my back did u managed to get through x

Hi all I hope your all well

i have exactly the same thing that your all describing it started off with pain on my right side I felt it and could feel a lump I panicked and went to a&e they felt it also and sent me for an ultrasound the ultrasound showed nothing and they sent me away it was still on my mind and the pain still there a few weeks later so my doctor sent me for an mri the mri came back clear as did blood tests but the lump IS STILL THERE and they're basically telling me not to worry about it but I am worried about it and I can't stop thinking about it and I'm unsure of what to do next! The pain has subsided but the lump is exactly the same size and rock hard it's about the size of a golf ball but not as round did anyone have any other diagnosis for this or what's the update from anyone else on this thread I'm dying for answers and feel like I'm getting nowhere 

take care all

i have the exact same thing . does yours feel like its part of the last rib? like its somehow connected? my doc said its nthing to worry about and it could be a bone spur or xomething to do with muscle im still skepticle im going to wait a week and go back again 

Yes this is exactly how mine feels! I have it on the left hand side. It sticks out quite obviously compared to the right hand side. When I wake up in the morning it is really sore. I had an ultrasound on this area back in Nov but it definitely feels like a more obvious lump now.

Just curious, those of you that are female...have you had children? I'm wondering if my rib cage has stayed enlarged after giving birth 20 months ago. Doesn't explain the recent onset of pain though. Hmm I think I will make an appointment, so hard with Covid :(

Hi, did you get another appointment? I have had this exact thing for years and I'm sure it's just an extra rib as it feels like bone. 

Anyone have an update on this? I have the same thing for roughly two years now

I have the exact same thing - Did you get a diagnosis? 

Does yours feel like it runs under the rib?

Hi Iona_p, 

I noticed you were trying to reach out to chellyr123 and k.simo30 so I just wanted to let you know that this discussion hasn't been properly active in over 3 years now so there's a chance you may not get a reply. 

I really hope that won't be the case but if you don't hear back, then you're welcome to try and reach out to others on more recent discussions you find about this on the forum.

Kind regards,
