<s>[INST] Lately I have been having slight pain on my right side. I thought it was my appendix. I was feeling around my stomach and found a small lump near my left hip bone . It doesn t hurt, but when I press on it, it gives me just a bit of pain. Like gas pains. I don t want to get scared about something that isn t major. It is just better safe than sorry!
