Possible to move kidney around with hand? Soreness

by dyhwen, Oct 05, 2007 06:06AM
When I lay on my back slightly angled to my side, I notice a large lump directly below my right rib cage.  It's kind of disk shaped about 2 inches around and I can push this lump from the midline of my stomach area all the way over so that it's tucked under my right rib cage and then I can shoot it back.  

Any guesses what this thing is?  Might it be a kidney? When pressed directly on tip it's quite tender.  No back pain.  Have noticed lately dark yellow urine.  

I am slender particularly in my waist stomach area however I have never noticed this before.  I have tried to find my kidney on the left side but can't find it by pressing around.

well, I think it must be my gallbladder I'm moving around as my husband has told me my kidneys are way in the back.
