Almost 10 months out and having pain...
On the left side of my stomach. It has been happening for the last week, mostly after I eat or drink, but not every time and not all the time. It comes and goes. If you feel where it hurts, it feels hard. Not a small lump, but a large round solid knot. Not sure what it is exactly. There is no incision site near the pain, so I don't think it's scar tissue. Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know what it is, but if you've had it for a week, I'd say it's time to see a doctor.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Hernia maybe?
