Hi, will try and keep this as short as i can but not getting anywhere with my docs and surgeon is slow in his assessment. After months of abdominal pain and all the usual symptoms, a CT scan last week has shown a 5cm + diaphragmatic hernia that is either restricting the bowel or causing bother with my bowel, my doc didnt have clear results. im in a lot of discomfort, but currently toilet and sickness is ok. ive had increased heart rate and tremoring throughout my body for about 6 weeks which my docs have said is caused by anxiety, im not convinced, im sure its something to do with the hernia. please, has anyone and experience, advice or knowledge of what will happen next as i just want it removed and to be able to get on with my life, i can literally feel it under my ribs all the time and sometimes it feels like its sucking the life out of me, currently waiting for surgeon to look in his intray and see the report. Thanks in advance 😃
