Small Lump under left rib cage

2017-06-25 10:38:34
I have noticed a small lump or knot on the left side of my body below the rib cage. It is not visible and can only be felt if touched. It causes discomfort sometimes but mostly it's not noticeable. It has been there for > 6 months and hasn't grown in size. I have gained weight in the past year ( from 55 to 70). I don't smoke/drink.
