rib? tumor? cancer?

? #1 - about a year ago I found a golf size lump  below my ribs but not on them.

Now it's the Size of a softball and there are four more lumps. My whole left side from just below my left breast to the tip of my hip hurts so bad , hurts to laugh , hurts to bend on that side. And the pain is like radiating ; ( feels like im being stabbed . I haven't been able to sleep to well.  Should I be concerned?  How concerned?

? #2 -Now my bottom left rib below my left breast is (swollen? Out of place? ) hurts like hell.

Idk what to do. Here is a pic .

Oh yeah the skin where every thing is swelling is turning a lighter color.  Well it will only allow me to bad one photo. So on this photo u can see the swelling ( on left side) by rib bottom. And then more to the left of that are all lumps and they r bulging out as well.

I agree: it's been a year and you haven't seen a doctor? What are you waiting for? I'm sure it is a worry, but it may not be as bad as you think. Better to get answer than to agonize over it any longer.

  Not all lumps/bumps are cancer.  See a doctor.  They may be benign tumors or cysts.  it could be a ganglian which can be removed surgically.
