[|Human|] I have a lump on on the right side of my ribcage that was diagnosed years ago as a lipoma. Recently for the last month or two I have had very bad pain on the right side in this area and below. The pain is severe but dull, and gets worse at night. It can be relieved somewhat with meds such as motrin. I have had mild night sweats as well off and on. Also I have diarrhea frequently right after I eat. I am concerned about the pain as it is hard to work at the hospital for 12hrs without popping anti-inflammatories just to complete a shift. I am a fairly fit 37 yr old male. Previously in the army I was told my pain ciukd be from costochondritis. Sugesstions?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it is due to infection in your swelling. As your symptoms like pain, night sweats etc. are seen in infection. So I advise you to get done ultrasound examination of swelling. This will guide you in infection present or not. If this is normal than Get done chest x-ray to rule out right sided lung disease alike pneumonia or pleural effusion. As pain and night sweats can be seen in both of these. If this is also normal than it must be musculoskeletal pain. Better to take painkillers and muscle relaxant.
