I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.
