What Causes Tenderness Below The Rib Cage And Above The Hip Bone?
I have had tenderness for days now in my left side below the bottom of my rib cage, above my hip bone, and almost parallel to the belly button. When I started to rub the area I felt a tender lump. Should I be concerned? I m having an ultrasound tomorrow but I wanted to be sure I don t need a CT scan or something else.

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com I am sorry for your worry. Please note that he Xray would be the perfect place to start, if this is unrevealing then further imaging may be warranted. I would await Xray results. Good luck and hope this helps
