Hard lump on ribs
I have two hard lumps. Both on the bottom of my ribs on the back. One on the left and one on the right. I have had them for about 3 years and they have gotten bigger.They cause a ton of pain but nothing showed up on ultrasound.Dr thought maybe lipoma but they dont petroud out you have to push to feel them. And they are hard not soft.
