Suggest Medication For Pain And Discomfort Around Stomach Due To Hernia

I have a what some have told me is a hernia. It is protruding and is only what I can describe as squishy. It is above and to the right of my belly button. I have experienced some blood in my stool and I am really scared. I don t feel a lot of pain but it is very uncomfortable, especially when I wear jeans or any pants for that matter other than sweatpants or shorts. I also have only what I can call spasms in my abdominal area when I turn. This mostly occurs to the right side. I just received medical insurance and want to have it checked out but I am limited on what I can pay and I have a $2,700.00 deductible. Would you advise me to go to the hospital or to a primary care physician and what I might be facing? Thank you so much!James Day
