What Does A Lump Under The Ribcage On The Left Side Indicate?
I feel like I have a knot under my bottom ribcage on the left side of my body. I have trouble breathing because I swell so much in my abdomen and it feels like i will burst, even though I don't eat that much. I also have a lower stenosis of the spine in the back and am concerned this might be part of the problem, but I believe something is wrong in the stomach area. I do not have a gall bladder. Just the knot and pain under the left ribcage and some pain in the right side of my back and the left side also.

Hello,
The lump under rib cage may be soft tissue swelling as a sebaceous cyst, neurofibroma or else. Breathing issue may be from respiratory ailment, stress-induced or others.
In our clinic, I recommend thorough work up with x-ray chest with or without CT scan as per the clinical evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
