[|Human|] I have nodules in the area of my right ribs and in the area of the liver. There are some very tender, sore spots in the liver zone, and some in the rib area. I also have intermittent, terrible pain that lasts for hours. My doctor has recommended that I see a surgeon to biopsy these nodules. Is this feasible and what could be causing such terrible pain? I have sarcoid disease, stomach ulcers and other health problems.
[|AI|]  Hellman in rib area may be due to many causes. As you have history of sarcoma, it may be related to this disease. You are rightly suggested for FNAC/Biopsy. It can assess exact nature of nodule.FNAC/Biopsy is very important in proper diagnosis and management. Till proper diagnosis you can take analgesics. You may need the latest ultrasound of abdomen.CENT scan of abdomen can be done after evaluation. You may need proton pump inhibitors for gastric ulcer. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
