Hi all! So I've been feeling this bump on my lower right side and I can't figure out what it is. I feel it pretty much all the time but when I lay down at night I'll get this pulling feeling and then it will pop up nice and big. It feels kinda oval shaped and its pretty low like right by my right hip bone and to the left. Is this gas just popping up my intestines? I haven't said anything to the doctors because you know how they are..."Oh its just gas and your intestines are overly sensitive due to your IBS"! Soo...I was just wondering if anyone else had felt a little bump like this before. It doesn't really hurt its just strange.... Thanks!

I have this bump near my right hip bone but it sounds smaller than what you are describing. My Dr. said it was a fatty cyst and nothing to worry about. I would definitely talk to your Dr. about it.

Yeah this is not small but not huge. Probably the size of like a brussel sprout. I'm scared...

I agree, you should talk to your doc! It's probably nothing, but it's best to make sure ASAP. As a "future doc" you should know that!

Keep us posted!

Try not to be scared and try to think positive. It probably is nothing but to ease your mind call your doc and make an appt. Tell them you need to be seen ASAP that way you won't have to sit around and worry.

Let us know what you find out.

...talk to my doctor about it. I just am so used to them brushing everything off. I just wanted to see if anyone else with IBS felt little bumps or bubbles from gas before I said anything to my doc. I guess no one does though. I'll let you know what my doctor says. Thanks for the concern!

my friend had some bump on her ovary that got infected or something and had to be removed..although she had another that didn't have to be removed b/c they rarely get infected...that's what she told me her doctor told her...but I'd go to the doctor if I were you. Good luck and I hope it is nothing yucky!

...and she said she thinks its an "inguinal hernia". A huge relief but still kinda scary. That's the last thing I thought since men usually get hernias! But whatever! Anyone have any experience with hernias? I don't really know much about them. I'm wondering if I got it after my gallbladder surgery since they told me I could get a hernia if I strained or pushed or lifted something heavy. Anyways....that's it. If anyone knows anything about hernias or knows someone who had them stories would be greatly appreciated!

I have an inguinal hernia also. Mine was found when I had my gallbladder removed. The doctor said that I would probably never have to worry about it and unless I developed problems, to just not worry about it. That was almost 10 years ago, and so far no problems.
I really don't know much about it though because I just decided to forget about it. I've had so many things go wrong with me, that I decided to put this one on the back burner. I just try to be careful and not lift things that are too heavy for me.
Did your Doctor give you any advice or tell you what to do about it?

My doctor really didn't give me any advice about what to do about it. I guess she assumed that after hearing that I had a hernia I wouldn't lift anything too heavy or strain, etc. She said something about surgery though. I feel like I just got better from my gallbladder surgery though! I'll probably wait and see like you. Do you know if a hernia can cause digestive problems? Like slowed digestion?
