Question

I've noticed a lump just below my rib on the right side, and its really uncomfortable, especially when I try to lie on that side. It kind of feels like somethings pushing against my rib. What could this possibly be? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may have a lump or swelling near your rib, which could be due to various causes such as a muscle strain, benign growth, or inflammation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some imaging tests to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about my liver enzyme levels since my SGPT is at 184 and SGOT is 67. I've been on Udiliv 300 for the past three months, but it doesn't seem to be helping because the enzymes have gone up. My fasting blood sugar is at 100, and I'm also low on Vitamin D at 26. What do you suggest I do next?
