Please cn somebody advise??

About 6 years ago I went abroad and came back with a terrible cough. One day when the cough was really bad I felt a crack and pain in my ribcage. I phoned the doc who said that I may have crackd a rib due to coughing and advised just to take painkillers. Years went by and no problems. However since I have had my 17 month old girl i have noticed a lump on my bottom left rib (feels like i am lying on something in bed). I doesnt move at all and feels firmly attached to my rib. I have since been docs over it who have just said to keep an eye on it. Does anyone know what it could be??

Lump

have you had an xray done as this is probibly just scar tissue some times after a break the bone heals with a lump its just extra bone but should be checked out to make sure .hope this helps you .

Pal

yes if u broke ur rib then it could of been not yet fix and the carrying of your child could of push it back apart but at the same time any lump should be looked at see ya dr dnt leave it x

Please can somebody advise

I would ask for an x-ray immediately and get it checked.

please do not be fobbed off.

Go back to gp

If you still have it go back and demand a blood test of some more investigative work.......if your not happy about something you need to push the subject with your doctor.
