What Causes Bumps Under The Rib Cage?

A few minutes ago I heard a pop coming from right below my right side of my ribcage. For the past couple days I ve had what i thought were muscle spasms when i layed down. I didn t think much of them. But now Ever sense the pop sound I ve had what appeared to bumps appear right under my rib cage when touched I feel a weird pressure and now it is spreading down to my right side of my groin. The pressure is more now towards the right side of my grain but feels like its spreading to the left too. What is this?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of subchondrial lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma / dermatofibroma
2.     The second possibility is of a benign cyst like bursa, hematoma or sebaceous cyst     
3.     The last possibility is of some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you due to recurrent sprains!
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon in your area!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
