abdomen weirdness

[klein b]

Hi All

I'll be making a trip to my GP at the end of this week but I'd like to see what you guys make of my symptoms.

There are a number of problems but I'm not sure if they're connected.
For about the last 6 months, growing progressively worse, I've had a strange 'stetched' feeling running from the right-side of my naval to just under my breastbone. This is couple with a pain in my groin, it stretches round to my back and down into my scrotum.
The top of the naval seems to have a small soft lumo that feels like a hernia (again not sure if any of this is connected).
The back and scrotum pain is worse when I stand up after spending more than 10 minutes sitting.

I reported all of this to my GP around Christmas and he sent me for a heart scan and ultrasound scan of the scrotum. Both turned out fine.

The sensation in the upper abdomen is strange, it feels like there is something pushing from inside to out, I can't feel anything under the skin but the sensation is fairly common.

I realise that this is all a bit general, sorry about that.

Any thoughts?

Regards

Steve

Have you had any surgey on your abdomen? if so then it could be a Incisional hernia.

If not you could of developed a Inguinal hernia which is what I have and I am awaiting surgery for.

Your symptoms are similar to mine, the only difference is my pain is so intense I have to take a strong pain killer containing morphine sulphate. I can barely do a daily routine and no walking for more than 5 minutes.

Ask your doctor to check for an Inguinal hernia, where he will press on one side of the groin where the pain runs, if it becomes more painful you have your answer. It is a test you can do yourself, just be prepared for more pain for a short period.
