Waiting for a referral for what might be a epigastric hernia.Have had an operation on an umbilical hernia 20 months ago and was also diagnosed with a hiatus hernia in Feb.I have had a swelling between my belly button and my ribs for a while and it seems to be getting bigger.Had an ultrasound scan last Aug and nothing was found but the area can be quite tender from the centre to the right side so we are getting advice to get it checked again.Any other help would be appreciated.
