Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump In The Stomach

I m 56, female, a tad overweight (otherwise known as fat . lol), and my Dr. has diagnosed a lump between my stomach and the base of my rib cage, right hand side, as being a protuberant muscle. It hurts like crazy! And the pain shifts from side to side, even though the lump stays on the right hand side. Doesn t matter if I lie down and nothing much seems to help in terms of pain killers or even horse liniment. Have you any ideas as to what I can do to relieve the pain, please? Thankyou, Dr. Agarwal. Sorry, didn t realise it costs. Thankyou for your time and trouble. God bless.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have Epigastric Ventral Hernia with entrapment obstruction which is causing shifting pain from the adhesions of the chronic lump there.
I would advise to consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it by Surgical Repair after study by USG scan.
Don't guess more. I would advise ER Surgeon Consultation to avoid further complications with it.Hope this would resolve your issues.Act fast.
So keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good reviews and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
