Do you find it as a firm, lumpy mass?
Do you feel pain around the right shoulder blade?
Have you lost some weight unexpectedly?
Does it look like is located within skin layers or deeper in abdominal cavity?

It feels hard to me, I have no shoulder blade pain and I have gained more than usual weight over the last months. I do feel like I have less energy and I have trouble falling asleep even when I am exhausted. I can feel it by just lightly rubbing my abdomen without pressing. I also can look in the mirror and tell that my right side is larger than the left side. I do drink and smoke. But I have not had much this last month. The doctor said that my liver felt fine.....but I still worry.

Have you visited a surgeon already?
Do you have discomfort in the upper abdomen on the right side?
Do you feel nauseous?
Are you aware about some previous liver problems?

The doctor that I am seeing is a surgeon. But she is unable to do surgery becuase when I am lying flat, it moves under my ribs. It really bothers me when I am bloated or after a meal. I am just living with it. Keep me posted on your prognosis. Good Luck

could it be fat but not under left rib cage

I sort of have the same thing. BUT At first, I had a dull pain on the right side of my back under my ribs. And it was very un comfortable to lay of my left side, because it felt like my hib bone was digging into something that was under my ribs. And My boyfriend couldnt rest his arm on my right side because it hurt, and was uncomfortable. But it was a serious pain, just uncomfortable pain. Eventually the pain went to the front of me under my right rib, and I have developed a weird ball-like lump under my right rib. Sometimes it's there, somedays it isnt there at all. Sometimes i get stomach pains too. I am very tired a lot. And I have headaches a lot. I went from being 125 lbs, to 115 lbs,to 120 lbs. I eat a lot though, and can scarf back a lot of food in one day, and not gain a pound! And after a large meal I get full, but 30 mins later, I feel hungry again, i get the hunger feeling in my belly. I went to the doctors, had tests done, still waiting for the results. Anyone feel like this before? Anyone know what it could maybe be?

i have a lump just below my right rib , i have been to the doctors and hospital but they keep telling me it's different fings can anyone help me?

I too have a lump between the size of a tennis ball and a golf ball. I feel some pain - tenderness mostly. I do feel like if it's pushing up on other things near my rib cage. I feel uncomfortable when after I eat. I've also gained weight over the last couple of months too. I noticed it about two months ago and it has grown in size and is a hard lump. If I lie down you it also moves under my rib cage and you cannot feel it. If I look in the mirror I can see that my ride side is larger as well. I will be seeing a doctor today. Has anyone been given any answers yet?

I also have a lump under my rib cage ,hard and getting bigger by the day is seems .It stings I guess is what you would call the feeling .I am being treated for liver issues and I'm wondering if its not my Liver............thats where your liver is........going to call my Dr monday I'll try and let you all know what I find out. Rather scary.

I wrote on another blog web MD
I have had a growth under my right breast that started out small and now goes down the the right side and then around my upper back. I do break out in sweats, It actually burns the sheets and burns me too. The pain feels like some is either is tearing my ribs out or a arrow got shot between my shoulder blades down into my chest on the right side. My shoulder hurts. I pass out to the point I dont know what is going on. You can see the growth and my ribs turning blue. However it doesnt show up on imaging. When they did a ultra sound the girl thought my ribs were broken because it hurt so bad. I am now stuck in bed. I no longer can get dressed and wearing a bra is out. I went to a top surgeon , and Nero and a radiologist and my womans health care all said something different. I am also on medicare and am only 47. Anyone with a Idea or a type of doctor to go to . I am at a loss and crying myself to sleep every night is not a good option . There must be someone , someplace willing to help. Thanks, pj

I'm experiencing something really similar Ruban12. My doctor recommended that I get blood work, a chest x-ray, and an ultrasound of my spleen. Apparently, he's thinking some kind of problem with my lymphatic system. I tend to agree...Hopefully it's nothing serious. I'm worried about it, and on top of it all - I dont have health insurance.

Today I actually went to a family care clinic. Having no other choice I figured it couldnt hurt. I was shocked. The doctor there not only listened but really cared. She order blood work up. A ultra sound and a chest xray like you eratliff. She gave me some lidocaine strips (SP) to help with the pain. Im sorry you dont have insurance medicare is close to not having any. I am intrested in what your ultra sound shows. Please keep us posted. I also found out that I have some discs in my neck that are bulging. We still have a long way to go but finally after a year of going to specialist who did nothing , I drove two mile from my home and someone is at least trying. My prayers are with everyone . We will beat this we just have to learn from each other.

Ok,I went back to the doctor. All my labs turned out fine. My ultra sound though quite painful showed nothing wrong. For most of the people on here the first thing two doctors thought was I injured my T5 and T6 discs in my back. That came back negative. The PA I saw could not understand if I went to specialist why I was sitting in a PA or family doctors office. I explained I had to start somewhere as the other people I saw could not help. She wasnt in a good mood like the first time I went in. I think she was just having a bad day. Fortunatly for me she asked the doctor to come in and he was a little kinder. I am sorry I dont understand why it is so hard to get help. IF YOU CAN see it , and its as large as a orange, YOU THINK UM MAYBE IT SHOULDNT BE THERE> They are sending me to a GASTRO so we shall see. I will keep writing her hoping my rabbling will help someone
