Question:
Could this be a hernia?

Hi! I am 15 months post op and for the past few months I have been having sharp pains in my stomach. They are like shooting pains. Sometimes I it almost takes my breath away that I have to stop what I am doing. Also sometimes when I left my arms I feels like something is bulging out. This happens right below where my bra strap is. Could this be a hernia? TIA Tracy    — tracyr (posted on April 29, 2003)

That may very well be one. I would go see you Dr. I suspected I had one because of the buldge and guess what? Repair is scheduled for 05/14. Good Luck!
