Found out where the pain is coming from at last.

Thanks so much guys I'd be lost without all your support. I will take it easy as I want to feel "normal" again or at least as normal as I can be.

 Hernias are  a huge pain in the butt  ( or side more accurately ) but thank God   at least that U know what it is now ....

please  keep in mind that  a STRONG,LARGE  fix is the BEST fix  as most people's  tend  to reappear  right NEXT to the original tear .... I guess once that wall is weak its weak .... 

Glad you figured it out... not knowing can make this stuff so much worse.

So glad you finally got an answer.
Sorry you are still in pain though.
Prayers for patience and a speedy recovery for you!

Karin, I'm so glad they found out the reason for your pain.  Hopefully you can rest and be on your way to a full recovery.  Dealing with pain is the worst.  I'm sorry you're going through this!
