What Does A Hard Lump Under The Rib Cage Indicate?

For about the last month I get this hard knot under my left rib cage. It s worse if I do a lot of walking. I get a little relief when I remove my bra. I have also been having about 6-8 loose stools daily for the same amount of time. Tonight I had a glass of wine with my meal and have been in quite a bit of pain.

Hi,

Consult a thoracic surgeon and plan for an MRI scan. We have to rule out possible causes like abscess or hematoma.

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