Hello, a few months ago I had quite bad constipation and piles (sorry if tmi) and went to the out of ours doc. I also had a painful swelling just above my belly button and he said it was an abscess and put me on antibiotics.
The swelling has come back again gradually over the past month or so and is tender to touch. The last few days I've felt sore in that area and had a few pains after eating. Also discomfort seems to go a bit after going to toilet. The swelling is in the same place, just above navel, and I am worried sick what it is. Couldnt get in to doctors today so trying tomorrow. Im worried its anything from an aortic anyeurysm(sp), to the abscess coming back, to a tumour, and then earlier thought hernia.
I know no one can diagnose, its just fam & friends would tell me to stop being dramatic and just see a Dr and I dont think I should google, so this is the only way to cope for now :weep: Has anyone had any experience of a hernia? Do they have to protude through the skin or can it just be a swelling?
Thanks anyone
