What Causes A Hard Knot On The Left Side Of The Abdomen?
I have a hard knot,maybe quarter size, left side of abdomen, about an inch down from ribs, and inch to left. It feels almost twisted. I don t have to push to feel it, I can run my hand over skin and feel it. When I push it, it s very tender and hurts for a while after. Any ideas? I m sure, since it hurts, I should visit my doctor.
