Lump at zyphoid process
Common Questions and Answers about Lump at zyphoid process
lump
ve been having stomach issues for 3 or 4 years now. A few months ago I noticed a small lump at the base of my sternum that I had never noticed before. I told my doctor about it, and he said it was my Zyphoid and told me it is harmless. I have concerns that it may be something else because of my persistent stomach issues for 3 years now, and the fact I've never noticed it before.
In my third trimester with each pregnancy I always get burning on the Surface of my skin on the right side of my rib cage just to the right of my zyphoid process. My midwife said as long as it's not coming from under my rib cage where my liver is than it's ok. Because I get this with each pregnancy and my blood pressure is fine, I'm not worried.
The vet took some x-rays and blood samples and the xray showed no shadow in the area of the lump. However; it did show a fractured xiphoid process, which deviated outwards and stood apart from the rest of the septum (but not separated-so the tissue connecting it to the main bone is still intact) The vet said there was no need for any treatment in my cat's situation but I am a little wary still.
Recently Ive been having intense spasms just below the xyphoid process and they radiate more to the right quadrant but I do feel them slightly in the left. They seem to be along the ribcage. I have had abdominal CT with contrast and abdominal ultrasound within the last 6 months and all were negative.
However, I find them very bothersome, not painful, but very irritating. They are worse after exercise, I am an avid lifter, and after eating.
). I had a mammogram, got the all clear, but because I had felt a lump, they did an ultrasound. Dr. doing the ultrasound found the lump, but said she "wasn't concerned" - again - all clear. Go on vacation for a bit, come home to a phone message (and played phone tag, etc.) w/ a different dr. who - according to what I can gather (and that's not much yet) - was contacted by the radiologist after I left, asking her to get me into my local clinic. I have an appt.
hey, here is a possible...I had the exact symptoms last summer. The pain would radiate around the ribs to my back. While in for mamogram I ask the examiner. She said she believed it was a pulled muscle at the "zyphoid process". She suggested I confirm with a doctor. Sure enough that is what he said, and I didn't even volunteer the examiners idea until after the doctor said it. I had forgotten what she called it.
upper adominal pain that begins just below my zyphoid process and radiates all the way around my body to my back. At times it feels like it radiates THROUGH my body to my back. This pain gets MUCH WORSE with eating...mo matter what I eat or how much I eat. Immediately after eating (5 minutes after first bite) my stomach starts gurgling, and i can feel it all over in my belly as well as in my back. This gurgling will last up top 5 hours.
My problem is that my abdomen swells, usually begins right below my incision which starts at the top of my left rib cage, goes up towards the zyphoid process, then along the right rib cage, turning horizontal for the last inch or 2 of the 12-inch incision. I go from having a fairly flat stomach to looking like I'm 5 months pregnant in a short time period. The swelling causes pressure, pain, discomfort, etc. I have noticed this happens after I sit for a while.
The pain would be directly below the zyphoid process about a half inch almost as if the zyphoid were poking the stomach itself causing pain and eventually vomiting.
I have suffered with these exact symptoms for 7 years and they have progressively gotten worse. It hit's mostly in the morning when I first wake up but I get into super hot water before the vomiting starts and the pain stops within 120 seconds.
Hi, I am 36 yrs old and a mother of 3 kids. 3 weeks ago I discovered 1 pea sized lump at my left armpit (lump is not so hard and rounded). I have gone to consult a doc yesterday and was advised to take anti biotics (Augmentin Amoxiclav 625MG) for a week. Today is my second day taking the anti biotic tabs, may I know how soon after consuming the tabs can the lump dissapear? Im quite worried if I might get Breast Cancer.
t hit my head all that hard, and I have had absolutely no side effects except for a lingering bump/lump on the top of forehead. If I apply pressure to the lump it does hurt a bit, the bump is a bit red in color. I guess my question is first when can I expect the lump to go away, and is there anything I can do to speed up the process? I really would prefer not to see a doctor because of the cost.
Please Help.
I told the doc that my abdominal pain was a burning pain LUQ just behind rib cage starting about three fingers down from the zyphoid and to the left. One doctor even told me it was all in my head and I need to learn to live with it. I would do that if they could just tell me what I am going to live with.
I have noticed a thicking or lump in the center of my penis about 1/4 or so long and feels round. I have had some mild pain in the end of the penis when I have had an erection. the lump is in the area of the head. If I squeeze the penis behind the head it feels soft all the way through but moving to the head I can feel the lump. I have not felt this before. Any ideas?
i was referred to a specialist who initially thought it was a ganglion and he tried to drain some fluid from this lump with no success - very painful process. the pain has since continued and i have been back to the specialist who has called it something else - the name i cannot remember. he has done a scan on it and says it is a solid lump therefore he will under a local anesthetic inject a steroid.
I had a heart attack feb 2010 and for the past year have taken aspirin,plavix,antenlol,statin and pepcid. I understand taking meds for heart but why am I taking pepcid? Around Nov 2010 a lump formed in the center of my sternum which I believe may be a hiatal hernia.My question is -If I didnt have acid reflux why was I put on the pepcid and why am I still taking it?
Congratulations on the benign pathology results.
As for those breast biopsies... there's a lot of swelling and bruising that takes place.
There's also scar tissue formation during the healing process, which can make the site of the incision (or, needle puncture) feel like a hard lump. Maybe, what you're feeling as being a lump is, in fact, scar tissue.
t not believe the lump is cancer. She bumped her leg while jogging recently and got a lump at the site of the impact too. That lump went away in time. She is confused by the thinking of the diff. doctors who have tried to help and advise.
She feels that she may loose her breast due to continued non-conlcusive tests that have yet to confirm cancer.
Hi I'm 16 years old and I have recently felt a sharp pain in my right breast. I've self examined the area and their is a lump under my nipple and hurts everytime I touch it but it's also causing pain throughout my whole right boob! What's goin on!??
t want to freak you out, but my son had a lump on the side of his head at 6 mos. and the doctor told me to not worry about it. I wouldn't let it go and wanted to see a pediatric surgeon. After the referral and appointment wait time I'm glad I was persistent. They had scheduled out of hospital day surgery and it ended up that they had to call in a pediatric neurosurgeon because the lump (tumor) had invaded the skull and cerebral-spinal fluid had leaked into his head. Watch the lump.
A few days later, that lump seemed to have vanished, and a new one appeared. It is palpable, at the top of my breast, exactly where it was the first time. It feels round and movable and I can feel a few other small lumps in the general area. I am booked for an ultra-sound but I need peace of mind, the fear is taking over my life. I am 20 years old, 105 pounds and have no family history, however I do smoke cigarettes. I have no skin changes or lumps under my arms.
Hi... I'm 19 yrs old... I have a small lump in left side to the nipple inside my left breast from today morn... I'm really scared... Is it a breast cancer???
Hi, i have several problems. First of all on one of my testicles i have a lump, i went to the doctor and she said that it was normal and it would go away over time. Secondly i have a discoloration of pigment on my penis, which my doctor also said was normal. Thirdly, my penis head has shiny sort of bumps which cause no pain, and my doctor said would go away over time. Is there anything i can do to speed the process of recovery or make these things go away.
The antigen in the shot starts a chain of reaction through which antibodies against that particular infection is formed in your body. This also starts a local inflammatory process. This process can form a lump that does not get absorbed back into the system. The lump is harmless. And yes, it can persist for 2 odd years and may be more.
However, the lump may also be a ganglion cyst or neurofibroma or a lipoma--all of which are non-cancerous.
Dr told me over the phone a few weeks ago that it could be gallbladder issues, but highly doubtful and more than likely muskoskeletal...My problem has increased in pain and frequency and is keeping me up at night...just wondering if someone with Gallbladder issues has had similar symptoms before I bug my dr again.
So for a month or so on my right side by my rib cage (kinda underneath my breast but lower) I get this tingling...
