Does this sound like a hiatal hernia?!
Question: I fell on the bathtub three months ago and had a scheduled gallbaldder removal five days later. Since then, I have had immense pain radiating from just below my sternum. My sternum is sore when pressed on. My whole abdomen feels distended like I have been punched from the inside out. It is sensitive to touch. I have this weird sensation in my throat like food is being passed and I have been feeling like I need to burp constantly. It feels worse at night. My abdomen feels tight like there is a ball inside and I am constricting around it. It hurts more when I am scrunched up and folding in on my sternum. When I sit up and pull my shoulders back it feels better. Any ideas what this could be?

Yes you have a hernia but only small
dont worry
you are having pains from where it was removed sawell
this is called inernal swelling
this is where the tubes they hadto cut to get your gall bladder out and swelling up and bursting
dont put any pressure on it
try streching backwards
maybe over an exercise ball
try wakling everyday morning and once at night if you can
if the pain continues get some painkilling cream
no tablets as they dont work tht far down
if the pain still continues then get a doctor to look inside yu but beware
make it a girl doctor for reasons i thnk you know
It doesnt sound like a hiatus hernia. They would have seen it on all the scans you've had.
I'm sorry your doctors havent been able to give you the answers you need but i suggest you arrange to have a proper discussion, they can explain what it isnt, and why. And what they think it is and why.
