Painful Lump below rib cage. Bleeding stool.

Hello, I have a painful lump directly below my rib cage on the left side. My last bowel movement had a lot of blood in it. It did not hurt and came out quickly. Was a mixture of dark and bright red blood. Before that happened my previous two movements were turning green. My last one had no brown or black color. It was Green with a lot of blood. Could it be from the lump, what could the lump be? It is not bruised and is protruding towards the center of my torso.

The lump may be a ganglion pressing on nerves, but you do need to see your doctor to look at it and give you the correct diagnosis and any appropriate treatment.

With regards to your stools, make an urgent appointment to see your doctor about this.  It is difficult to say if it has any connection to the lump, but you do need urgent medical attention.  Don't wait any longer as the symptoms you present with regard to your stools can be very serious.  An early diagnosis is imperative.
