I also, had this problem... After flipping my car 6x into a house( after my 3rd R shoulder Surgery) I landed in a coma for over a month and a half... Having flat lined twice... They had my stomach open for two weeks in the ICU - after I left the hospital not healed(14" scar on stomach/tracheotomy/all L ribs broken/& shattered my L heal/oh and broke my R scapula)
But the point is I had a ventral hernia(as stated above by T.M and lovbyts, & fit2BOld - stated MRI/ CT SCAN/ but MRI w/contrast is way to go... Just keep goin to ER and tell them look I've had all these previous tests done - I WANT A MRI - you are entitled to one since I'm guessing u got INS...??
I ended up having to get 4 other surgeries on my stomach to put this MESH( which got infected) and had to remove in the Dr 's office w/out any lical anesthetic or anything for pain!
Just wanted to share my story as it sounds like a serious condition... Was outta training for a couple yrs due to all the surgeries!
Grateful I'm alive but could've been avoided!!
Good luck and keep us posted!!
