Tender and swollen under left breast/ rib? What could it be? Only hurts when I push on it.

Hello, it’s been about 2 years now and it’s not really getting better or worst. It discomforting to put some pressure on it or maybe hurts more than that but I can feel the swelling and don’t push hard enough to find out.

Hoping to get some answers today.

I know when I hurt there, it’s because I have a hiatal hernia where my stomach lining wants to move into my esophagus. But there are multiple issues that could have happened in your case. If you cough and it hurts, there’s a chance of a pulled muscle under the rib cage. You really do need to see your general physician to get the correct diagnosis. Good luck to you!

Does it go down your side at all? I had pain under my breast in ribs and Dr said it was costochondriti s.

if it’s tender to touch, even gently it’s more than likely your intercostal muscles..
