Sharp Pain In The Middle Of Stomach Area, Lump Formed In Area. Causes And Treatment?
I am experiencing, it is not a constant sharp pain (it almost feels like something is pushing on the bottom of my rib cage as if there is not enough room for whatever it is) where my rib cage ends in the middle of my stomach area. There is also a fairly large lump/ball in that area. Do you know what this could be or what is causing it?

Hi.
Pain in the middle of your stomach may be due to Gastritis/Stomach ulcer.You didn't mention whether you have taken any treatment for it and the response?
The lump in that area may be Epigastric hernia,protrusion of fat/any content through a defect.Pain may also occur due to this hernia.It is a simple problem.It is completely curable
But,please consult your surgeon and get it diagnosed.
All the best
Regards
