The day when you paddle a lot, you may feel pain around 6th or 7th rib. If you continue paddling with that pain many days, it got swollen around that. It’s a tumor consisting of fatty tissue. Following photos show what it is like.
If you keep surfing as it is, there is a possibility that a small lump form in the tumor. If the lump is sandwiched between surfboard and your rib, it causes sharp pain. Once you have it, you need to have a surgery to get rid of it. This is the photo of after surgery friend of mine had.
