good news and bad news

I agree with Debbie..you already know the answer to this question.  It could be serious , like a hernia or an abscess or any number of things.  Go let the doctor do his job and take care of you.  He is a wonderful doctor.

I see you called him and I'm glad you did.  Take care!

 well im a little late on replying   but i noticed the date ? have you seen your doc and what was the problem honey

just saw him today and i sort of feel foolish, but the painful lump was..... my stomach muscle!  looks like i pulled the muscle pretty darn good.  at least he knows i haven't been sitting on my buttinsky!  ha ha  i told him i felt silly now and he said that hernia can feel just like a pulled muscle and he's rather me call than not call.  we discussed the constipation issues and he gave me some additional recommendations.  we'll see how it goes.  just need to give those stomach muscles a rest.  he laughed when i said that i'm pretty sure i have never been able to touch one of my stomach muscles before so i would never recognize it as a muscle by touch.  LOL

that sucks about the pulled muscle but glad if wasnt something more serious!! Its good you called!!

glad eveything is ok though!!
