Hi, I have a hard, boney and painless lump on the left side of my sternum where the adjacent ribs connect.
So when I felt where the pain was, I discoved a fairly large lump at the bottom of my sternum just off center. Kind of FREAKING out here. Do not have health insurance and do not want to go to the doc to hear him say it is nothing to worry about. Could it be an ulcer or something not so worrisome, or should I get it checked. Pain is still there hours into the day but it comes and goes as far as how strong it is.
Anyone have any answers or suggestions?
It is elongated and flat and extends from the base of the neck to the pit of the abdomen. At the very bottom portion of the sternum is a cartilage called the xiphisternum or xiphoid process, Sometimes is can become harden and curl upward. However this should not be reducible.
In that area the hernia that is most prevalent is a Hiatal Hernia. I have one...and 60% of America develop one before the age of 60. I have never heard of this being palpable or reducable.
I have a hard, "jelly bean sized", firm, non-movable lump on left side of my sternum, right between my breasts. I've had no injury to the area, it is not discolored & have had this bump for a couple of years. During a mammogram a couple years ago, a "marker" was placed over this area, however the marker moves with my skin, and since the lump is fixed on my sternum, it doesn't show in a mammography.
The best way to get out of this anxiety is to get the lump examined. A lump on the sternum could be a swollen lymph node, a lipoma (localized collection of fat), a neurofibroma (localized collection of nerve and fibrous tissue) or a scar tissue from a surgery (may be the melanoma surgery if it happened there).
A lump in the lower sternum that comes and goes is often due to acidity. It is normal to be scared after you had melanoma. So the wisest thing to do would be to get this lump examined.
I do have a lump in my sturnum, left side, it hurts when I push on it. I have a wicked pounding heartbeat, often uneven. I feel my heart beat in my whole body all the time.
i really dont know what it is a lump the size of a silver dollar appeared right under the bra strap every time i look it up on the internet it shows hiatal hernia but it doesnt hurt per say but i have periods of feeling sick this occurs when i eat alot at one time and when i lay down to sleep i have made an appointment with the dr but its over a month away
Hello I'm 25 years old and I have a small pea sized movable lump to the left of my sternum. The lump is not visible I have to find it. It's been there for a while but I recently have been getting random sharp pains where the lump is. It is also painful when I move it around. My first thought was that it could be costochondritis because I do lift heavy at the gym but I'm not really sure. Any thoughts?
I strained my abdomen and groin by doing too many sit ups last year. For various reasons, over exertion seemed like a good idea at the time. How wrong i was.
It feels like there is a lump in my belly, below my sternum, this lump is tender to touch, and it gives me the sensation of a "hole" in my chest. There is also a "lump" in my groin, on both sides. Ive also been having warm sensations All over my body, from head to toe.
Hello and welcome to the Dogs Community! :-)
I can't imagine any dog of that age that should have any kind of a hard lump on it's abdomen. If he were my dog, I would be concerned enough to ask my vet about it.
Did the lump come up very suddenly? It may only be an insect bite and nothing to worry about. By the way, allergic reactions to such bites can be treated with benadryl (diphenhydramine ONLY - no decongestent included) at the rate of 1 mg per pound of the dog's weight.
But now I have a hard lump about the size of a large marble on my sternum. My primary care doctor has referred me to a general surgeon but I'm wondering if I should see my heart surgeon rather than a general surgeon. Could this be related to the heart surgery? Can you get lumps of scar tissue that cause chest pain 4 years after surgery? I'm scheduled to see the general surgeon on Thursday. Thanks!
The doctors did say that it appeared that some rib damage on the side correlating with the lump; so to put myself at ease thinking it was a mis place rib or something. It hasn't really grown much in years past. It feels round smooth with no gaged edges and it's connected to the rib so it could be possible it's costal cartilage swelling.
