Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump Below The Rib Cage
Hi how are you today? i have this knot that feels like a babies fist in my left side under my rib cage and it has me in pain. i was told it is a calcium build up. and it moves around what can i do about this. can t get a answer or help for this problem.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to a calcium build up. I suggest to do a chest xray to confirm the nature of the lump. If it is a calcium buid up there is nothing to be worried. Meanwhile, I suggest to use painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg for pain relieve.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
