abdominal pain near liver
Information regarding hernia-if you had one or have one.?
Recently, my OBGYN discovered a mass the size of a softball in my abdominal area. Went for a ct-scan and he confirmed it along with a slightly enlarged liver. He has refered me to a bariactric doctor which the appt is next week. I have been in discomfort and pain for sometime. I was taking ibprofren for the pain which he said may be why the liver is slightly enlarged. My question: if surgery is needed to repair the hernia, how long is the normal time being out of work? Also, could I wait until mid-January before the procedure or is this something that needs a.s.a.p attention? Again, I haven’t seen the second doctor yet. I have questions now but can’t get answers until I see him next week. Am I in any danger like an erupted appendix scenerio? The pain is from the mid section and runs up to my right side near my waste. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
I have had a hernia in the same area that you are discussing..my mom also had 2 within the last 3 years. You will miss a good amount of work depending on what you do for a living. Try not to strain it too much, no lifting heavy things. After surgery you have to do the same thing..take it easy is what they tell you..no lifting, stretching of that area and no physical activity for weeks. Also, many hernias can return if not properly healed afterwards..thats how my moms second one came back..she didnt take it easy and enjoy her time off..good luck to you and sorry if i could help more.
