Swollen hard lump under right rib cage

Hi I'm worried about a swollen hard lump under my right rib cage I only noticed it on the off chance as there is no pain ect 

 

I've been to see my gp who is sending me for a ultrasound but its 3 weeks away  

 

Is it possible to be something harmless as I've done the usual and Googled it and everything is leading to liver cancer im 35 years old

 

It feels like its right on the last rib on the bottom and goes around slightly to the side 

 

I did ask my gp if he had any ideas he seemed to think it could be cartridge 

 

Anymore information needed just ask

Thanks

  • Hi thanks for sharing.

    I'm 34 and have multiple hard round lumps across my abdomen which hurt to touch and cause the ache as mentioned above. I had ultrasound 2 ish years ago they told me they're fatty lumps which would only need removing if causing severe pain. I fit and work out every day still but they catch or rub on the ribs sometimes which can be sore.

    I disregarded it as age / old cells but curious still seems random they're all on my abs around my ribs 

     

     

  • Morning, I have the same. I had an ultrasound back in January 21 and chest X-ray but all came back fine. However, the pains in my right side and back (particularly in the morning) are worse now than they were. 
    I have another ultrasound this morning, in 90 minutes. 

  • Hi Oceanveiw

    I have the exact same issue and find it extremely painful when I go to sleep and then wake up with the site where the lump is hurting, hence the reason I am up so early. It does not hurt during the day always on a night when I am asleep and also i can get pains in my chest and back

     

  • I have had a full ache on my right rib under my boob sometimes going round to the side like a dull ache on and off for more than 2 years. Originally saw a gp who said it was muscular, I thought nothing of it until I googled what organs sit under where the pain is. It frightened the life out of me. I went back to my GP had bloods, chest X-ray and ultra sound to check my liver and gallbladder. Everything came back ok and GP said it's a repetitive strain injury where I've got two small children who I carry around. The pain definitely reduced once I got my good news in February however I've now found a lump in the area I've got the pain. I'm so frightened but trying to reassure myself that it could be fatty tissue as I'm sure I'd have other symptoms by now with a problem extending this long. I will hopefully see my GP tomorrow. Xx 

  • Hi Mummy12 did you ever get to the bottom of this?  My symptoms sound very similar! Hope you are well xx
