I have recently found a swollen area on my upper abdomen under my left breast.  At first, it didnt bother me but now it is accompanied with pain and kind of a tingling feeling.  The swelling has been getting worse as well.   What could be causing this?
Hi. Thanks for your query. The swollen area under the left breast and now bothering you due to pain and tingling can be due to the following problems:-The commonest being costo-chon Chat Doctor. -Some other swelling like muscular, from fractured rib and so on. I would advise you the following:-First get an actual physical examination done by a Doctor, preferably a Surgeon.-Get an X-ray of the chest. Ultrasonography to rule out any internal problems in the abdomen. This will give the correct diagnosis and a plan for further management. Till them stop lifting any heavy object. Get the constipation and / or cough treated as this will increase the problems.
