I ve had this hard lump pop out below my right rib cage and breast. I ve had it for years. But only happens a couple times a year. I quick stand erect and it subsides within a couple of minutes. The other day it happened twice...and the hard lump stayed for 20 minutes. It would start to subside...and as soon as I moved it would get all hard again. I was so scared. Pretty sure it s a hernia. I did make an appointment with my doctor...but don t go till Tuesday. What can I do till than so it doesn t pop out again?
Hello dear Warm welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* As the lump is reducing in nature there is definite connection with internal structure.* Ultrasound examination will surely prove the details, till then you should avoid weight lifting, strenuous work so that it does not pop out frequent. Wishing you fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further doubts. Regards .
