What Could Ball In Lower Side Of Stomach With Severe Pain While Sitting And Standing Diagnosed As Not Being Hernia Indicate?
Hi, i have a ball inside my lower left side off my stomach, i get very bad pains when i shut and even stand, sometimes it s ready bad that i can t sit down at all. My dad had a hernia so i thought was a hernia Sio i went to the er and they did an xray on me and said he found nothing , but the pain is horrible and i do have a lump on my stomach i can feel abd see it. I am a little over weight so i was thinking if it is a grease ball?? Any suggestions on what it can be and what i can do thank you so much

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It can be a renal stone.
Get an ultrasound of your abdomen done to look for the lump and the stone.
Also hernia cant be diagnosed on an x-ray and a few stones are not seen on it.
You need to see a surgeon if you suspect a hernia.
