Hello, so about a month ago my health anxiety really kicked in, it got so bad that I developed a sharp stabbing pain throughout my left rib cage. I have to assume this was caused by anxiety becasue I’ve calmed down a lot since then and it’s not there as much anymore, now I’ll mostly feel a dull soreness where the pain once was.
When I had this pain I felt around the rib cage and noticed a have a little lump sort of near the pain. I have a few more but This one stood out becasue it felt on the muscle, it was round firm and a little movable. This caused a lot of anxiety in me again which probably made matters worse. The lump was smaller than a pea, it seems to have shrunk down a tad which seems good. My question is what could it be??
I’ve gone to 2 doctors, both have no idea what the lump is and why I had sharp rib pain. I am 19 and very thin so it’s easier for me to feel lumps and bumps in my body. I’m the only one who seems to have concern about this though.
Could it be a limpoma? A cyst? A nerve? Maybe a knot from my anxiety?
I’d really appretate any input, doctors don’t seem to know or be concerned, again it seems to have shrunk a bit and its under the skin on the left side near the middle of my ribs. I hate worrying about this, I appretate any response I can get! Sorry for the long post.
