<human>: I have swelling with a pea sized mass just below the right rib cage. I am 48 yrs old, 5 9 and weight about 184. If I touch the area,move just right or bend over it s painful. I had my gallbladder checked back in Sept 2011 and the hyda hyda scan test showed very slow progress, but excreted in normal limits. Can you help???
<bot>: Hello, The swelling in the rib cage could be a lymph node related to inflammation. I don't think that it is related to your gallbladder.  Anyway, if this persists, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an abdominal ultrasound, in order to examine the nature of this lump.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
