Hi I'm jarrad from Australia

Iv joined this forum as can't find any here.

I'm sure I have maybe several hernias.

Iv been to doctor several times and I'm getting frustrated at the cost, time off work and no answer from my not very talkative doctor.

It started maybe a year ago with gas buildup. Then I had an extremely bad next 6 months with stress being unprecedented.

I now sometimes have back cramps,stomach visably has swelling on occasions on the left , sometimes right side of abdomen.which can be best described as a very large sausage which when you twist body appears to move

I can also make it look like there is a separation at lower stomach.

So appart from this visual I also have

.Occasional but pain stomach pains

.urinary differences

.ejaculation difference

.stomach seems to have lots of fat ( I normally have a six pack)

.upper inner thigh inner buttock sensations

.feet feeling seriously hot and bright red.

Does anyone no enough about this subject to give me so idea please.

Even if you have had all or a couple of above mentioned symptoms.

And what are chances of having 1 or more if any.

Or maybe type.

Thank you for your time eagerly waiting a reply

    We can't tell you anything more than a doctor.  You need a CT scan to know for sure. I think that is the only really way to know.  Have you had open abdominal surgery before?  If so you may have post infectious IBS.  That is what I have after Appendix ruptured and then 2 hernia surgeries.  That would relate to the bloating.  I am now taking Align which is a probiotic recommended by doctors and it works great.  

    Has the doctor recommended a CT Scan?  If your doctor isn't forth coming with answers, get another doctor.

    Hi Jarred.  Just wondering how you are doing.  Has you doc done anything for you yet?  I have had 3 hernia repairs and recently the mesh they used for the right ventral repair came loose.  I have had symptoms of severe pain for the last 9 years and nobody could ever tell me what is wrong.  Finally I just went to emergency and with a cat scan they found the problem.  So i guess i am telling you if you want results go to emergency if your pain gets too unbearable
