Hernia

[jeffskee]

I had a pain in my top right part of my abdomen thats been on and off for a little over a year. At first I thought it was an abdominal strain like Gary Payton, but now I think it might be a hernia, but I can't tell. How are they diagnosed. I had an ultrasound in the area to check for gallstones which came back negative. Would the ultrasound have been able to pick it up. Would an x-ray be able to detect this?

Talk to your DR he would know. I dont' think the hernia would be felt that high up though. He should be able to feel your abdomen to see if your guts are spilling out though...yuck but true.

Here is a link for you. You can read it and compare it to your symptoms and then decide. If you think you have one ... see your physician for sure.

I had this pain for a while and the doc ruled out a hernia so I didnt get x rays or anything. He thought it might have been a blocked kidney stone so he had me get an ultrasound but they didnt find anything. After a while the pain just went away or was really minor so I ignored it. Its still kind of minor, but I feel it when I sit a certain way and I definately can't do pushups. The doc didnt know what it was so he said it was chostochondritis. I had a feeling that he really didnt know what was wrong so he just guessed that it was chostocondritis. I want to go to another doc and ask for an x ray or an MRI just so that I can rule out a hernia for sure.

It's amazing how many things these so called experts can't seem to find. Make us feel like it's all in our heads, when in deed there is real pain.
