    Torn stomach or lump?

    So a couple of days ago I noticed some pain in the lower right side of my stomach right before the front pelvic bone, I noticed a lump that hurt when I move around (on pant line) and hurts to the touch. I asked some buddies and they said it could be a hernia or apendix. I went to the doc and he said its too small for a hernia but it could be a swollen lymph gland, I looked at the location and the lymph gland is much lower. I'm supposed to take meds but I felt the doc was wrong for the lymph is about 3-4 inches lower. I think I tore a chunk of muscle from lifting at work or stretching in the morning when u wake up. Any ideas what it could be or has anyone had this?

    dude, when I first started reading I would have said it was definately a hernia. I cant really give u advice since I am no doctor, but it def sounds more like a hernia than anything else.

    Your doctor should know best man, so I would suggest you listen to him, but if you are not sure maybe get a second opinion. Never hurts. Two heads are better than one they always say

    Good luck to ya. I hope its not a hernia for your sake though. Its like my biggest fear, that and muscle tears lol

    its slowly getting better and if it was a hernia it should pop out when I stand up, also I went to the gym yesterday and had a unreal back work out and it didn't hurt the area if anything it felt better.

    It was a medicenter doc so I think if it doesn't get better in the next 2 days I 'll just go to the hospital and that way I can get ultra sound or tests done and get the right answers. Its just the doc was so unsure of what it was and he had about as much of a clue as I did. He should have sent me for tests first, then meds.

    If u cancel out hernia and lymph glands whats left....Possible tear in the muscle fibre?

    Get checked out

    my friend had a baseball sized lump that would come out of his stomach about where u described yours. His would stay inside, but if he pushed his stomach out, the hernia would pop out. He would still go to the gym and squat and deadlift well over 600lbs a piece. This went on for about 2 years, and finally he went to the doctor......Just because it doesnt hurt now, you should still get it checked out....bc later it could come back to haunt you.
