I went home until Saterday 21 when I was about to sleep I felt a lump on my left chest and that was the spot where it was hurting before and it was definitely there and it hurt. I'm not sure why maybe if my bruised rib because it still hurted to breathe before that and lay down it hurted. What is causing this Lump? Is it because of what happen to me at practice? I need answers help.

About two or three years ago I found a lump on the lower part of my breastbone to the left of it, it causes paunchy only every now and again and the doc just felt it and said it was inflamed cartilage, I now get a lot of pain on the left side of my chest across the heart area which radiates down my left arm and up my neck, the doc then said it was costochondritis but I'm worried about the lump but I assume they could tell by feeling it and that after three years I would at least be severly

The area feels soft and much squishier than the same area on my right ribs. It has gotten so swollen that I can no longer feel my ribs on the left side. What could this be?

Recently i developed a large lump i would say its bigger than a grape bigger than a half dollar and it extends kind of underneath my breast and along the top of my ribs the lump is hard its not like squishy or anything, my left ribs are puffy and protrude much further than my right rib cage.

If I stretch up or lay on my back I feel some pain. From what you said, it may be the ribs pulling on each other a bit and not fully healed. If I push the front left of my ribs, particularly at the bottom, I get a bit of pain too. Again, much less pain than I felt a couple of weeks ago though. No X-Ray was taken. The doctor didn't feel it was needed, but didn't really explain what was wrong. I didn't ask enough questions probably.

My partner have this hard, immovable, painless lump on his lower back. It hasn't gotten bigger as far as I know (for around 0,5-1 year). But it do concern me, as he won't see his GP. It's deep in the tissue between the ribs and pelvis on the left side. It can only be palpated, not seen. It's a bit elongated, but only maybe around 0,5x1 cm. May be bigger, it's hard to know. It's not very well distinguised from the other tissues.

I'm 31 weeks 6 days I was wondering if it's normal have a big lump on one side almost all day it kinda feels like my baby lays on my left side or her head is there it's very uncomfortable and I feel alot of pressure. She moves but that lump tends to always be there. Any advice of what could that be?

I was diagnosed with costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage, caused by sever coughing, getting hit, even laughing) and I was put on a steroid to reduce the swelling. One evening I was massaging my aching side when I came across a lump on one of my ribs...I had never noticed it before. It's hard and smooth, and it feels like it's part of the rib, but it kind of sticks out, and it's not on my other side.

My gasterologist dr has ran many tests because of pain on right side and under ribs. But no luck on diagnosing. They have never commented on lump in belly. Would a hernia hurt all the time? Because this pain comes and goes. When I get it, it can last for days.

Several months ago I was laying on my back and ran my fingers over my ribs and felt a lump on my bottom rib. It is the size and shape as an egg yoke. It doesn't hurt unless I press on it (which I tend to do). I never noticed it before, but that may just be because I can only feel it when I am laying on my back and slide my hand over from my abdomen outward which I don't regularly do.

I found a large lump on my dggs ribs today, sure it was not there before as I give her a massage around her shoulders and neck every night..

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.

Hi girls just a quick update on my dr appt for my baby yesterday. he has a small lump near his ribs and when he cries it protrudes...i took him to the ped and the dr said he never saw anything like that before!!!??? i wanted to kill myself. he said if he thought it was dangerous he would have rushed us to the hospital, it may be a hernia but hes not sure. i have an appt on thur with a specialist. this is so not fun i cant stop having anxiety attacks. wish me luck!

I found a lump on my outer breast (left)...somewhat on the way to the armpit. A few days later it began to hurt. The pain goes through the breast, up the armpit and is now spreading into my rib cage. There is now some swelling in the ribcage below left breast (almost feels as though the ribs are broken). I went to a Dr. and he had me get a mammogram and ultrasound.

I have since found another lump above my collar bone this time on my rightside. Having bad pain everyday on and off in my legs,hips, neck,back also get discomfort under my ribs. Should i mention this all to the doctor?

Hi my name's Justin. I've had a lump in my left breast for a long time,but it's never really gave me any trouble, sometimes it would ache. but now I have a pain in my underarm area, like it's my ribs or something, but sometimes I can put my deoderant on and it kind of hurts to rub the deoderant over my arm pit. I was just wandering if I should be worried, or could it be something to do with my ribs, like space between my ribs?

I recently found a lump on the left side of my husbands rib.It is about 1/2 in.high and 1 1/2 to 2 in long it doesn't move and is not painful he has a dr.appt tomorrow but I am just really concerned.

Hi i’m a 19 y/o female, about a year ago I noticed that one of my ribs on the left side (3rd rib) was sticking out a lot compared to the right. I’d never noticed before but my doctor didn’t think anything of it. A year later it’s still here and I went back to a different doctor and he ordered a chest x ray. The results take ages to come back and i’m really worried that the lump might have been serious all along.
