Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seems to suffer from-
a hard painful lump under right ribs,which pains on pressure,with surrounding tissue-very painful.This indicates Spigelian Hernia-which is in the weakness in the Para-rectal fascia.The impacted / herniated pre-peritoneal fat, or omentum /mesetery is the cause of the severe pain around the lump.
Remedy-
Surgeons opinion/and USG of the part would fix the cause.
Tab Voltaren with brufen to reduce the entrapped tissue.
If not reduced manually under local anesthesia,Surgical planned repair is the only treatment for non-reducible Right Spigelian Hernia.
Thus this lump should be concerned by you and need to take care as suggested urgently.
Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
