Feeling of something in right side under rib area when bending over or sitting down

I have everything you just mentioned. I have to see a doctor. I swear sometimes I feel it's something that is going to kill me.

I have what I thought was a hernia for years now. Something pops out under my right rib hurts so bad I could scream. Had surgery 3 years ago, surgeon couldn't find a hernia! Lately since I have this new job sitting for 8 hours straight it is starting to pop out 1-2 times a weeks for as long as 15 minutes! I am beside myself. I have been to 3 surgeons and a gastro dr. I am afraid to bend!

Same pain as mine underneath right rib cage. Haven't had any tests yet because I get a colonoscopy this year and then I will get the other relative easier ones done after that. It is weird that this pain mostly comes in the winter time rather than summer. Not constant, rather dull but noticeable. No bulges, lumps or anything else. I keep thinking muscle tear after shoveling or bending wrong. Lot of both this year and last when it 1st started.

i have been having the same thing for over a year did you ever find anything out at the doctor?

It could be a rib out. I had a rib out right at the place where my bra is for a long time. I finally found out that it was a rib out and I go to the chiropractor now when its out.

Hi did u find out what it Is

my upper right center rib is a bit out ...having no pain but still i am worried about it. Maybe something's wrong. Please help.. is it a normal thing or should i visit a doctor?

Actually just went to doctor yesterday about same situation. Had gallbladder out in 2009, still have pain in that area and she said it may be scar tissue from surgery. Feels like a heavy area, cannot bend over because I feel like my ribs are curling and have pain in that area when I stand back up.

sounds like you may have gallstones .Um

How many of you spend alot of your time parked in front of your computer or sitting all day long? YES, I am asking for a reason and if you can answer this honestly, I can probably tell you what is going on. I am having the same thing and it all started after I had a surgery and I had been forced to sit around way more than I expected for an extended period of time. I started getting like this and now it is a terrible feeling in my side. I personally think it has something to do with slouching in front of a computer or just pure ole sitting on our dead asses and getting no excercise. SO, get off your retired fat asses and get out from in front of those computers and do something and get healthy again!!!

You may think I am crazy for my last post but sitting on our asses all the time makes for ALL kinds of feelings and thought of things wrong with us! Noone can just sit and not expect to start feeling bad or have strange aches all over our bodied! This is simple being lazy and fat and moaning and groaning all the time! Get up out of that chair and freaking do something with your time other than just staying glued to that damn computer and thinking being retired means to sit and die!!

I have a similar thing happening to me, Im on prednisone and have fatty liver. I have lupus osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, so the drug list goes on. When I bend over I get this pain in my stomach below my right ribs, I have to lie back and try and arch my back for this thing to flop back into place, it hurts and freaks me out. I can feel its slide and kinda flop, its very unpleasant. Its about 4+ finger widths under my right lower rib, I know the prednisone effected my liver once before and I was on methortrexate which made me sick in different ways,

Massage and chiro... mostly massage. The best I've had are at reflexology asian massages at the mall. and the least expensive. You'll know when you found a good one

I had no idea so many people had the same problem. Just like you, if I bend over a certain way or too far, I feel as if some kind of floating mass gets caught up in my bottom ribs on the lower right side. It not only hurts, but I cannot stand up. I have to contort my way around sideways while pressing in on what is popping out between my ribs, and it goes back to normal within a minute or two. It is very scary, though, and like everyone else on this board, no doctor will take me seriously. I also have lupus and the possibility of the disease attacking an organ is serious to me.

However, I did get an answer from one general surgeon a few years ago. He told me that it was a lipoma (a benign mass of fat usually encapsulated, harmless, hereditary, and located in more than one place--so if you have one, you probably have more somewhere else.) He did not recommend removing it then because it was not causing any harm or pain (it wasn't catching in my ribs then, just sticking out on that side pretty visibly). Since that time, I have had a couple of compression fractures of the spine and an acute attack of pancreatitis for which no cause was ever found. When I suggested that this lipoma could be crowding my organs, thus aggravating the ducts to the pancreas, I almost got laughed out of the office.

I had a second lipoma on my shoulder. A few years ago, I found a lump in my neck and was terrified that all the immunosuppressive drugs I had taken for my lupus had caused me to develop leukemia or another blood-related cancer that is a risk when you take those drugs. Even the doctors thought the lump was cancerous. When they removed it, they discovered that it was a small piece of the lipoma on my shoulder that had broken free and become calcified. They removed the entire lipoma from the shoulder and all the pathology studies were negative. With increasing crowding if my organs as well as continued risk of fracture from ribs or vertebra, I am more worried that this thing could be a ticking time bomb. I had to almost demand to be sent back to the surgeon to discuss removing it. Unfortunately the surgeon I had previously seen had retired, and the new surgeon claimed that my records indicated no mention of a lipoma during that visit! I know this is a flat out lie because my sister-in-law was the surgeon's nurse at that time and specifically recalled his diagnosis of a lipoma; she had even done the transcription for the office that day and knows that she personally put it in my record. The new doctor was degrading and flip. He cited a recent CT-scan I had done as evidence that there was no lipoma present. I told him that it was my understanding that lipomas did not always show up on CTs, only on MRIs, and he stormed out of the room to call the radiologist who had read my CT. Then he came back and smugly told me that the radiologist saw no sign of a lipoma, after which he told me that the problem was indeed fat, but not any kind that a surgeon could or would remove. He proceeded to humiliate me and lecture me about diet and exercise, and at the time, I may have been a maximum of 20 pounds overweight. It was a surreal experience, as if I was not present and had not said a word that was heard.

That was maybe two years ago. Since that time my weight has gradually crept up more, but oddly enough, the more I weigh the less this thing catches up under my ribs. The thinner I am, the more visible it is as well, and it becomes a problem with how my clothes fit. You can literally see it poking through my clothes. I didn't mean to be so long winded, but if your problem is also a lipoma, don't get your hopes up too much for the docs to jump right in there. I guess a free floating mass of fat just isn't glamorous enough for them. I truly hope your experience is better than mine, and maybe they will resolve your issues soon. Lupus makes life difficult enough all on its own without these annoying add-ons! May good health and a pain- free day be yours.l

I have the same issues since having my child.... Recently told it could be endometriosis which causes scar tissue to grow in many places and can travel up to the diaphragm
