hi my is dean I live in Australia & need an answer for a medical issue. Ive been suffering from a pain in my lower abdomen for about the last twelve months now at first the pain and the lump would only come if I was only bending over kneeling down on the floor doing something active after a few minutes of standing and applying pressure or rubbing it the pain and the lump would settle down. Then just recently it has started to get more pain full when im doing things even just standing up or just sitting down sometimes aggravates it. Ive just had the last 4 months off work with the first two months being in pain and feeling a lump constantly laying down and applying pressure or rubbing it was the only relief I could get. Ive had 4 ultra-sounds and 2 c-t scans and they cant find anything, Ive had some people say that they have had the similar pain and lump in the same area and were told they had a spiegeilian  hernia and had it fixed. Im getting frustrated as ive seen plenty of gps and one general surgeon and he keeps telling me its just a pinched nerve and just take pain relief, but they dont work I need an answer so I can get it fixed and get back to work
Hi, thank you for posting at Chat Doctor Forum. I think that your problem is related to Spiegelman Hernia. The treatment is surgical intervention. I also think that your treatment is emergent because of complication of the disease. The surgery is straightforward and simple, and it consists in putting of Mesh prosthesis. You should contact an abdominal surgeon as soon as possible. Take Care.
