What Could Be The Reason For Pain And Fluid On Ribs?

Hi Doc I am a 38 yr old male 60kg i had a average pain in the btm of right hand side ribs yesterday, the whole of this area tightened up somewhat and as i felt it i felt only what i can describe as a hot pad on my right hand side ribs which contains fluid, which i could push and prod with no pain. I checked my left hand side of ribs and there is a similar fluid pad like thing but on the upper side of my ribs and not as big as the left hand side. I can push these fluidy pad like things around a little. My wife was pretty scared when she felt the big pad on my right side. Any info idea s would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Hello,

In case of fluid in lower chest area there are chances of having issues with respiration and discomfort,so it looks that there are less chances of having lung issues.

Looking at your details it looks to be growth of fat tissues (LIPOMA) or a soft tissue swelling.

Looking at seriousness of issue i shall advise you to consult to your doctor & get a complete clinical examination.Your doctor may order you a x ray and/ultrasonography to check the issue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
